All joking aside, and it is funny. What the hell is Clacton going to do if he wins?

More importantly, what will he do if he wins?

He's already said he's not Sinn Fรฉin and would take the seat.

I expect he'd just get on with case-work and probably be one of the best local MPs in the country because there's no shuffling for position in the party or taking up ministerial roles or campaigning for the future to worry about.

Opposite of Farage really, who is only in Clacton at all for party and national reasons.

He is doing it for the national lols.

In interview he does appear to be saying that in the unlikely event he won he'd take the job seriously and do his best for Clacton.

He certainly won't be lining up ministerial positions or flying to America to make deals with foreign parties or thinking about campaigning for the next election.

He could of course either be lying or just be shit at it or even just decide after a month that he can't be bothered and quit. But from what he's saying in interview, his plan would just be to try and be a good independent MP.
