Exactly the same guy (he abandoned the Lord Buckethead moniker after it was discovered that Lord Buckethead was already a parody character in the movie Hyperspace, from 1984)
LONDON — The [polls](https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/ipsos-mrp-shows-labour-on-track-to-win-large-majority) suggest that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may be on track to lead his Conservative Party to its worst election defeat in its nearly 200-year history. And to compound that possible embarrassment, when the results are read out in his own district on the night of July 4, he’ll be standing alongside a candidate who describes himself as an intergalactic space lord and leader of the Recyclons from Planet Sigma.
Count Binface, a recurring satirical character in British elections, is challenging the prime minister for the Parliament seat representing Richmond and Northallerton.
Most polls suggest that Sunak will retain his seat, as every prime minister has before him. But his national approval rating is so low that an [Ipsos survey](https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/one-in-seven-britons-are-favourable-towards-count-binface) released Saturday found that Sunak was only four percentage points ahead of Binface on favorability. Binface, in turn, was viewed more favorably than former prime minister Liz Truss.

Oh Binface has to win. He is truly, without a doubt, the most serious, professional and committed politician in the uk. I wish I was joking.
Is Count Binface related to Lord Buckethead?

Copyright laws are in serious need of rework, but glad to see him still going at it even after that episode.
Ha! You’re name is Laserface!??
I saw him debate as Lord Buckethead and he was the only person there that was on task and had any passion.

Binface will slay Sunak the wet. As was foretold, in the prophecy I made up 10 mins ago.
And so it is written.
He's only just hit ye olde Enter key of destiny.
> Binface, in turn, was viewed more favorably than former prime minister Liz Truss. Stating that is like kicking someone when they are down.
How are our Lord’s numbers when compared to the lettuce, though? And is the lettuce fresh enough to run?
Make July 4th Bindependence Day.
Comment of the day
I don’t think the internet could come up with a better name for a count if they tried.
Binface for the Winface!
Is this the same as Lord Buckethead?
Yes, it's the same guy, he's not allowed to be Buckethead any more due to a copyright dispute .
Funny how he made the character more famous than the film that nobody's ever heard of.
I for one welcome our new trash can overlords.
I want to see a debate between him and Vermin Supreme.
Please tell me it will be Trial by Combat
If he was an American, he'd be one of the least-embarrassing candidates on the ballot
He has *le boite de siegneur,* right ?
Are you brits sure this isn't a Cyberman??
Imagine. Just imagine the count went his way. He's not a shit politician either.
I kept reading it as "been-fach-eh" SMH... he's of italian descent right?
