Why would Todd Durham have issues with a Lord Buckethead doing his thing in another country and continent, but apparently not with a guitar player named Buckethead in the United States?

Lord Buckethead (the at-that-point temporary novelty candidate) was much closer to (and inspired by) Durham’s character, to be fair.

Ultimately it is all for the good; clearly a -face name is much more quintessentially British.

that's all right, Lord Buckethead has now officially endorsed Count Binface for the by-election: https://xcancel.com/DavidHughesTwit/status/20759264658461409...

Presumably because he thinks (rightly or wrongly) that the one is damaging his reputation while the other is not.
