I believe Count Binface’s campaigns are intended to promote the idea that ‘every vote counts’. Jacob Haugaard had been running joke election campaigns for 15 years before he accidentally got elected. His aim was to satirise the outlandish populist promises of real politicians. Good comedians, making a point, persevering for years, punching up.

Other campaign promises that got Jacob Haugaard and his party The Union of Consciously Work-Shy Elements [Sammenslutning af Bevidst Arbejdssky Elementer] accidentally elected: Nutella in army rations. The right to be stupid. Shorter queues in supermarkets. 8 hours leisure time; 8 hours rest; 8 hours sleep. More renaissance furniture in IKEA. It was the promise of a tailwind in both directions on every bike path that got him elected and made him a national treasure, though.
