British voters go to the polls in a general election on Thursday with the ruling Conservative Party likely to see a big drop in support.
One of the more colourful candidates running is Count Binface, who is hoping to take a seat in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Yorkshire constituency of Richmond and Northallerton.
Count Binface - the alter-ego of comedian Jon Harvey - previously ran in the constituency of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Among his policies is to reinstate the Ceefax service of the BBC and nationalise singer Adele, who he described as a "one-woman GDP boost".
Count Binface told Moncrieff he feels it's time for a change.
"This is one of those seismic ones, isn't it, where the United Kingdom has decided collectively to give the government of the day an almighty kicking," he said.
"I get to be there to confirm the cliché, 'Take me to your leader' - he's not going to be the leader for long.
"I get to see old Rishi [Sunak] face the wrath of the voters after everything he's inflicted upon them".

"I do have new policies: like all British Water bosses to take a dip in British rivers to see how they like it," he said.
"Add to that national service to be introduced for all former Prime Ministers.
"WiFi on trains that works, combined with trains that work, that kind of stuff".
'A referendum on another referendum'
Count Binface said he believes nothing has improved since 2010.
"After 14 years of a Government I think British voters would have a right to be able to think that something - anything, even an atom - has been improved since 2010.
"But no, nothing.
"I don't think anybody listening in Ireland, the UK or any planet can find anything that has improved since the Conservatives have been in power."
On the question of reversing Brexit, Count Binface said he would "hold a referendum about whether there should be another referendum".
UK election poll
The British Labour Party are on course for a landslide victory on Thursday with a majority of 212 seats, according to a final YouGov poll projection.
This will give party leader Keir Starmer the biggest majority for any single party since 1832 in a vote which YouGov suggests will break a series of electoral records.
Some of the biggest names in the ruling Conservative Party would lose their seats under this projection, including 16 of the 26 British cabinet ministers still standing.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives are on course for 102 seats, substantially down on the 165 achieved in 1997 under John Major, losing more than two-thirds of the 365 elected under Boris Johnson in 2019.
The Liberal Democrats under Ed Davey are projected to get 72 seats, higher than their previous peak of 62 in 2005.
Nigel Farage's Reform UK is set for three seats, while the UK Greens are on two seats.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) is set to drop from 48 seats in 2019 to 18 seats, according to YouGov.
