It’s NOT “far far less electricity than running a dishwasher.”
You have obviously inflated your idea about the “big bloody dishwasher” using (OF COURSE!) more energy when it’s not true. Now, you’re bringing the size of a dishwasher into this? Your “small basin” better be pretty damn small - like, so small that you couldn’t actually fit a full sized plate in it because it’s still gonna cost more energy overall. Jesus people. Just look it up. It’s obvious and it’s everywhere!
BTW: There’s a door on the front of your dishwasher. Dirty dishes can be kept inside for, generally, about 4 days. I wasn’t suggesting a week as a regular thing. If you eat and clean so little of the time, and you don’t use that many to fill a dishwasher, then you get a smaller one instead of a “big bloody one.” You never ever have to “leave dirty ones around.”

I fill up a small basin, squirt in the fairy liquid and wash the dishes in that. There's no way on god's green earth that uses a) as much water or b) as much leccy as a bloody big dishwasher, to say nothing of all the space it takes up, the cleaning of it and, as Chula says, the idea of dishes left sitting till there's a full load. I never have dirty dishes for more than maybe 5/6 hours in my house. Mind you, there's only two of us and not that much in the way of dishes, but I still wouldn't leave dirty ones around.
