Comment on British public more likely to prefer Count Binface wins Clacton by-election than Nigel Farage
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 week agoThese is a tradition that parties don’t stand a candidate in other parties leaders’ electorates.
It’s 100% bullshit.

That is absolutely provably false, the reason no party put forward a candidate in this by-election was to not legitimise Farage’s publicity stunt.
Farage openly claimed this was going to be a “him vs the establishment” election, so “the establishment” as he calls it refusing to contest him has successfully made him look like a fool and has him crashing out hard in interviews
