It`s difficult to see this thing as anything but a defeat for Farage for not anticipating the established parties would not stand and how he is right back were he was in regards the £5 million. If we have to go through another by election a few months down the line how does Binface standing impact that vote? His votes would impact the establishment parties. Unless we have a "semi-final" there will be another army of loony candidates standing giving the whole thing the look and feel of an amdram first night of the Dunny-on-the-Wold by-election. More utter embarrassment. It`s gonna be fun, I`d definitely watch it. ![]() Reply |
