Absolute Mad Lads Sargon of Akkad, Count Dankula Are Running For Political Office. As two fairly prominent figures in the culture war they have been the subject of smears and lies from the far left and social justice activists. Naturally now they are being called "far right" and accused of pulling UKIP further right even though both are relatively centrist. As the culture war elevates more extreme individuals it is no surprise that activists on the far left and in media are going to smear and label Carl Benjamin and Mark Meechan as far right. Because the center has mostly fallen, and both are rather opposed to left wing identity politics, individuals such as Sargon and Dankula are smeared as being associated with extreme groups. Now whether or not either will win is to be seen but it would be very interesting to see Sargon win and become an MEP but then have Brexit happen only to see him booted shortly thereafter.
