  I’ve heard it’s full.of old conservatives, so probably Farage will win. I’d love to be wrong though.

  If it’s close, it’s still a humiliation so it’s a win in my book.

    Farage won with 33% last time with the remaining 67% split between candidates

    If the same people vote again but that 67% go for binface he has already lost.

    Hell if only 50% of that 67% vote for binface he still loses

    Thing is, our system is heavily reliant of FPTP. FPTP has no effect when there’s literally only two candidates
