Ok, please explain the play here. UK politics is strange.
It is very strange but he wants a fresh mandate from his district
I dont get it either
If you or anyone bothered to click the link, you would find this explanation from the BBC senior political correspondent.
“It is worth stating that if Nigel Farage were to win this Clacton by-election, investigations into him will resume. That is what Parliament’s rules are.”
“So Farage isn’t forcing this by-election in order to stop that investigation ever happening, he is doing it in order to appeal to a higher political authority than the House of Commons standards commissioner.”
“He is arguing, ‘I derive my mandate from the voters of Clacton.’”
It’s not strange.
It’s SSDD.
The same everywhere.
I just Restore runs a candidate.
I wouldn’t assume he’s running to win.
> If you or anyone bothered to click the link… <
That’s just not done here on Free Republic.
It’s against long-established tradition.
Anyway, I just glanced briefly at the title. What’s a farage?
🤔
so he’s already the MP Elected? and he’ll resign to run as the MP where he’s already elected ?
correct!
Farage realizes that islam has taken control of the Country. England beautiful culture is history.
He wants to be PM.
The media has been all over him for his positions. (Think of him as a polarizing figure, akin to Trump in the US.)
By resigning, he forces an election in his home district.
He runs again, and if he wins by a large margin it inoculates him when he makes his play for PM.
Does that make sense?
I had a British girl tell me once that our election process was so retarded, to which I replied, yeah and yours is better? I think they are all weird, but I will stick with our process, and you can stand by your process.
Yes, very much so. Thank you.
Yes. He is calling for a fresh mandate from the district basically. I dont know why but that is how he feels.
"French/Huguenot: Often believed to derive from occupational roots such as a blacksmith or weapon-maker."
I thought it was a conflation of f-bomb and garage myself, as in, "It's a garage, mate, a f-garage!"
correct!
That should really confuse Labour big time ,LOL
TALK ABOUT SLOW LEARNERS
Well played.
👍
Farage is being investigated for failing to report financial contributions that were made directly to him. He has resigned his position in Parliament to force a snap by-election in which he intends to be a candidate.
