If what you think is true, why did Farage step down call the election in the first place?

It seems rather clear it was a PR stunt he knows he'll win in this district, which lets him distract from his own corruption scandals.

But if you think there is some other reason I'd be interesting to hear the theory.

You don't vote for a comedy character to win an election in a safe seat, because they won't.

You vote for Binface because you think Nige is wasting money on a pointless box ticking distraction instead of spending the money locally to fix things.

Farage hasn't got much of a sense of humour but if massive majority gets smaller he might spend more time in the area and less time in America on speaking engagements.
