Brexit party question

So I know it won't happen but I'm curious.

If the brexit party somehow won the election who would be prime minister. Farage is the leader but he won't be an MP

Obviously I know it won't happen but watching the news and it's got me thinking

One of his minions would stand down from their seat and he'd take the reins.

Too much of a megalomaniac to do anything else.

But surely if an Mp stepped down that would just trigger another bite

Vote not bite

Yes, but if someone's voted for his minion, they'd be delighted to get the main man.

Jo Coburn asked this question of her Brexit Party guest on Politics Live today. She responded that they weren't realistically expecting to win the election outright. Jo Coburn then asked her what the point was then of the Brexit Party fielding 600+ candidates...

^ she said something like - the dream scenario would be about 50 seats, but it would realistically be more like 10 or 12.

Do they have a deputy leader? Or perhaps Richard Tice, who I think has a senior role.
