How was it?
How did you feel about Binface running for MP?
Should he run again?
He is a satire or joke candidate. Do you know the man behind the mask?
Would you support Martyn?
He runs Clacton.org and wants to help the community. Almost everything on Clacton.org is free because the aim is to bring local people together.
He ran in August 2026 and got just 65 votes, but that was brilliant because he never expected to win. He used the election to learn the process of running first-hand and, more importantly, to listen to the people of Clacton. Next time would be different: the aim would be to build a proper campaign around a team of local people who know their communities and want to help.
Would you like to join Martyn's campaign team?
How could you help?
Select as many as apply.
Would you like to meet or have a chat with Martyn?
Do you have recommendations for anyone else to join Martyn's team?
Would you consider being a candidate for MP?
It's hard work to get elected, but we could consider supporting the right person.
Do you have at least 10 people who could support your nomination?
A parliamentary nomination needs signatures from 10 registered electors in the constituency.
Do you have the £500 candidate deposit?
The deposit is lost if you poll 5% or less of the valid votes.
Why would you be a great MP?
Do you have a wider local team that could help with the campaign?
Do you have a recommendation for someone who could be the candidate for MP?
We would love to know who some of the best people in Clacton are. We would consider supporting people who are local, or have genuine local connections, and have the right experience and community connections.
