It's only in circumstances like this that a fringe candidate is ever likely to win btw, so I think an earnest attempt to get Binface or whoever polls best against Farage elected would be worthwhile.
Reform is nothing absent Farage and this may well be his end. It'll be good that the national emergency ends if it turns out Farage has broken the law, but it'll sting a bit that Burnham is to benefit from it rather than Starmer.

I don't personally think Clacton should be written off entirely by their support for Farage and I do think some smaller parties should give him a fight. If Galloway can get elected then others can too, and incongruent as it might seem, a populist leftist could possibly give him a good run. Maybe Your Party should give it a go, or at least the Greens. #UKPolitics #UKPol
