It gives people a chance to vote Reform,” Stark said. While paper candidates, who stand little chance of winning and therefore don’t campaign, are not uncommon in UK politics, it is rare for so little information to be available about candidates online.after one social media user’s post went viral, saying: “Is there any evidence that Mark Matlock actually exists? He looks AI generated.”
