That leaves no proper parties, plus Restore not standing.

Imagine living in a constituency where nobody wants to represent you... |  |

I think it's more a case of everyone standing back until the Parliamentary investigation has run its due course and the current MP convicted so that a proper by-election can be convened. Then a fair representation of the people can happen. |  |

It would be the most hilarious thing in political history if Binface were to win. Come on Clacton, this is your big moment! |  |

Binface aside, it would be decent if a local independent who just wants to represent their area in Parliament would stand up to him and his lack of work as being an MP. A two horse race between a man who's caused a stunt and a strong local candidate could result in Farage looking foolish when he loses.
At the moment he'll win with just mostly his hardcore vote turning out to back him. |  |

Tough choice.
Do you go for the candidate who is constantly full of rubbish or...? |  | | |

To be honest, I am not sure if a victory for Count Binface would be a good look for British democracy. |  | | |

Whoever this bloke is, he’s absolutely hilarious.
Hope he at least keeps his deposit.
Absolutely brilliant. |  | | |

Reform preyed on one of the most deprived areas in the country to get a "banker" seat in parliament for Farage, and from all accounts there's been no significant improvement to the area over the past 2 years, and quite a few locals disgruntled at how little time Farage spends in the constituency. There must also be a few voters in the area reconsidering whether to support someone who gets £5m handouts from friends when they're struggling to make ends meet themselves.
Less than 60% turnout at the last GE, and Reform had less than 50% vote share of that - you'd hope such a high profile by-election should get a few more locals off their bums to vote, but sadly I'd expect many supporters of mainstream parties to no-vote rather than protest vote (which would be a shame) |  |

I'm thinking more about how it would be perceived in the rest of the World. | | | |

Not sure that that particularly matters, but wouldn't any decent foreign journo explain the context to their audience in any case? | |

Whole thing is very puzzling
Man gets put under investigation
Man resigns so he thinks he can be given a new mandate from the people in a by election
everyone else can see this is a stunt, so distances themselves
man will probably get voted back in
investigation may end up against him anyway and a new by election may be required.
good people of clacton must hate this |  |

If there's a second by-election, I wonder if Nige may pay a price with the electorate for wasting everyone's time? Don't some people tend to get the hump with too many trips to the ballet box? | |

I have my doubts he'll even stand.
He'll win this one, obviously, say the people have spoken/the other parties scared to face me because they know the people of Clacton would vote for him in a landslide.
He can then say its undemocratic to force him to have another one when his constituents have spoken and the other parties ran scared.

What we really need is a turnout in proportion to the time Farage has spent actively representing Clacton since his election. |  |

They did vote for what was obviously going to be something of a circus.
I'd suggest a campaign to spoil ballot papers, see if that can get bigger numbers than Farage. | |

I believe it is illegal to encourage or campaign for voters to deface their ballot papers |  | | |

Ah, that's a shame. Low turnout it is, then. | |

You'd think the centre-left for once might be able to unite around one candidate - Nige "only" got 48% last time round. So could be beaten. Binface wont do it, nor will the likely slew of local nobodies that will give it a shot as independents. |  |
