Carl lost out to Ann Widdecombe, the former Conservative MP and anti-feminist media pundit. I guess it's not that Carl's views are totally incompatible with the electorate; it's just that voters aren't so keen on Carl, Milo, and the rest of their flamboyant online trolling gangpic.twitter.com/LhIZpBTCF9

I like Sargon's videos. His performance in the polls is not bad for a complete amateur, with very little in the way of a party machine behind him. There are worse people in politics.

People spent so much time attacking him that they largely ignored Farage.

As one of Gloucestershire's voters, neoclassical liberalistism has me unconvinced. What even is his position on farming subsidies?
