@infonauten Fantastiske bøger, der viser noget nyt ved hver genlæsning. God læselyst og god ferie!

@antoinnesterk That's really special. Both your da's drawing and the way you are echoing it now

@pms Så smukt

@CarstenBoll The context for Count Binface has turned serious now, because of Farage's stunt and the need to challenge the right-wing, but it wasn't the intention all along. His campaigns until now have been about making people aware that their single vote counts - serious, but not War In My Country serious.

@CarstenBoll @zoul Yes, that's why I purposely didn't mention Zelensky in this context, to not mix things together. The comedy election campaigns are different. And also the situation for him and Ukraine is too serious, I didn't want to joke about it in this context.

@zoul Yes I know.

@MargaretD I'd like to see an Aussie equivalent of those campaign promises. Off the top of my head, all I can think of is: 'Spiders will not be allowed into the house' and 'A Drop Bear will be added to the national flag'.

Other campaign promises that got Jacob Haugaard and his party The Union of Consciously Work-Shy Elements [Sammenslutning af Bevidst Arbejdssky Elementer] accidentally elected:

Nutella in army rations.

The right to be stupid.

Shorter queues in supermarkets.

8 hours leisure time; 8 hours rest; 8 hours sleep.

More renaissance furniture in IKEA.

It was the promise of a tailwind in both directions on every bike path that got him elected and made him a national treasure, though.

I believe Count Binface’s campaigns are intended to promote the idea that ‘every vote counts’. Jacob Haugaard had been running joke election campaigns for 15 years before he accidentally got elected. His aim was to satirise the outlandish populist promises of real politicians. Good comedians, making a point, persevering for years, punching up.

I’m enjoying the prospect of Count Binface beating Farage. Brits are wondering what a joke candidate would be like as an actual MP. We've precedent for this in Aarhus. To his own surprise, comedian Jacob Haugaard was elected to Folketinget (parliament) in ‘94 after a campaign intended to parody populist political promises. His Union of Work-Shy Elements promised ‘tailwinds on cycleways’, 'bigger Christmas gifts’ & 'more whales in Randers Fjord’. He turned out to be a good & respected politician.
