Nigel Farage’s decision to resign as the MP for Clacton – effective from the 5th of July 2024, judging by his record – may have somewhat backfired.

He got 46% of the vote with multiple none right wing candidates turn out 58%.
He must have pissed off at least a few of of his former voters by now. Plus this is amusing so turn out will be higher.
Is not outside the realm possibility he could lose this. If he wins the investigation is back on because no matter what he says resigning and reapplying has no effect on the investigation, so that’s a shallow victory.

It’d be hilarious if Farage lost both races. And ends up in trouble criminally due to money laundering.
