Five-million Farage has flounced out of parliament in order to pause the investigations into his alleged corruption, but other major parties are refusing to contest the resulting by-election, potentially leaving him facing Count Binface as his biggest rival. With the British public’s love of the underdog and refusing to do what’s expected - remember Boaty McBoatface? - I wouldn’t bet against it being Count Binface MP soon.
Maybe they’re not unified because they believe in a common good, but instead because it serves the interests of each of them to see Farage make a fool of himself and potentially lose support in the polls
I’m not in/from Britain myself but it does seem to make him look foolish.
Like in a comedy when a volunteer is sought from a line of people and everyone but one inattentive person takes a step back.
Well yeah. Farage is a threat to everyone one way or another.
He’s eating the Conservatives alive they need to get rid of him.
He’s pulling Labour to the right and there is some understanding within the party that that’s not a good thing.
The Lib Dems are finding it difficult enough to get anyone to vote for them when there’s only other two options, they don’t need a third
He’s not really a threat to the Greens, I suspect they just want him gone because he’s in the pockets of the oil industry.
And of course Rupert Lowe hates him, and is totally on board with anything that humiliates Farage.
