Faragian Farce Day 5: Winning Isn’t Enough Anymore

Why Nigel Farage may still win Clacton, but lose the only contest that really matters.

It appears we now have a date for the Clacton-on-Sea by-election. Tendring Council has announced that the election will be held on the thirteenth of August, which is, by my reckoning, just over a month away. I initially thought it was going to be around the sixth, but another week doesn’t really change the fundamentals. It just gives us another week or so to watch the increasingly surreal political drama that has become the Faragian farce unfolding in public.
