Nigel Farage has regained his seat in Parliament, beating a field of fringe candidates led by trash-can-wearing comic Count Binface in a special election boycotted by mainstream parties. They called it a farce. Farage is the leader of the anti-immigration Reform UK party, and some see him as a possible next prime minister. He abruptly quit his seat in July amid an investigation into whether he failed to report a $6.7 million gift from an overseas crypto billionaire. He denied wrongdoing and ran again for the seat to prove he had voters’ support. According to results announced Friday, he regained the seat with 63% of the vote in an unusual election.
