think it’s fair to say that the Clacton by-election became a feeding frenzy for people who knew entering would guarantee much media attention.
People who don’t live in Clacton entered.
There were people whose entire platform was satirical.
Even some of the policies were, in effect, jokes.
Some local media moaned that Clacton election turned the town/area into a “circus” or an international laughing stock.
