To think Count Binface is doing a great job in the Clacton by-election?

Tbf Farage's track record in every single elected position he has held should be proof enough he's unsuitable for public office, but if voters want to ignore that because he shouts populist rhetoric that's their choice. Doesn't mean their choice is above derision though.

As to why are they (not sure who they are? Renewable developers or investors maybe?) putting solar panels on farmland, it's generally because farmers are happy to sell/lease the land to said developers and it's cheaper to build there than in established urban centres.

Also did Farage make a mockery of the 2019 election when he stood down candidates in the 317 tory held constituencies or was that ok cause it benefited your side?

And yet if you dare to say that, you get accused of superiority.

You're right, though. If you vote for reform, then you have very questionable standards.

Why what? Why do I support Reform? Same reason anyone else does, I think immigration is an existential issue and I'm a near single-issue voter.

Why?

I think any decent person would feel the same.

The rules just say a recall petition has to be made available for voters to sign, they don't have to sign it. They might not support Farage but not want to have the fuss and expense of an election for example.

Fwiw I think Farage's early by-election stunt was pointless and that he should have declared the money, although I overall hope that Reform forms the next government despite this.

I think it would also be a farce to have another by-election after whatever committee decision is made. It's not like they are going to come back with new information not already baked into voters' decision making.

It's not a farce if it's the established rules. Perhaps he's been just trying to avoid being held to account for it. Perfectly possible new information could come to light or be more publicised anyway.

So happy yet you've still not proven where I've been racist. That's fine. Maybe the next poster you try that on with will be more forgiving.

I don't have anything against recall petitions, I'm saying I think it would be an utter waste of time unless there is substantial new information revealed that wasn't available yesterday. So if I were a voter in Clacton asked to sign one, I would decline. Other voters in Clacton might make different choices.

By continually assuming that Farage is unsuitable to stand you are deriding the voters who voted him in. He is their choice. The other parties made a mockery of our political system by backing away. If they were so sure the people of Clacton had at last seen through him, they would have put up candidates and got rid of him before the next election.

Better discussion. Why in God's name are they putting solar panels on farmland. Why not use warehouses, car parks and any public buildings. Leave our countryside alone!
Will the people who get to meet Andy Burnham on his 'tour' get to ask him any question or will the audience be picked and questions chosen in advance.
What happens to the debt he left in Manchester and WHO elected him.
Farage will survive well, he's canny!

The thing is, everything I've said is here on public record. I haven't attempted to edit or remove a thing. So people can judge for themselves whether I've backpedalled or not. I'm happy with what I've written.

If your MP was found guilty of wrongdoing, wouldn't you want the chance of a recall petition? Surely you wouldn't be happy to let serious misconduct go entirely unpunished, however mild and ineffective that punishment was? It's a case of principle and standards.

Will Farage be allowed to stand again if the enquiry finds him guilty of wrongdoing?

😆 🤣 😂 😹 watch your arms from all that backpeddling.

I'm glad Farage won and also think this whole thing has been a bit of a farce, glad it's over, and it was a waste of time for all involved.

There's a difference between twisting words and correcting someone's wrongful interpretation of what you have said. You claimed I called Reform voters racist and I cleared up your misunderstanding.

By continually assuming that Farage is unsuitable to stand you are deriding the voters who voted him in. He is their choice. The other parties made a mockery of our political system by backing away.

Twist the words all you want. Don't make baseless accusations unless you can back them up.

If that's how you'd like to refute my accusations, that's your prerogative. Many would disagree, and that is theirs.

Of course, I didn't say Reform voters are racist. I said anti racists don't vote Reform and that is quite a different statement to the one you claim I made.

Excellent news. And of course he did 🤣
