callippo Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 However, Farage wants a seat in parliament. I wouldn't be so sure of that. If Farage wanted to be an MP, he could be the member for Eastleigh right now. He almost certainly would have won that by-election had he stood. He must have known that at the time. He must also know that his chances of winning a seat in a by-election are much, much greater than winning one in a general election would be when even a prospective seat that seems to tick all the right boxes in somewhere like Lincolnshire, or North Kent might very well be beyond his grasp in 2015. Nigel Farage does not only not walk on water, he also probably does not have the ability to win any parliamentary seat in the country except luckily, and narrowly - unless somebody does him a favour and does not stand, like Labour and the Lib Dems withdrew from contesting Tatton in 1997, to allow Martin Bell to win as an independent. UKIP has no slam dunk prospect seats to get an MP elected in 2015, wherever it is, and whoever it is, even Farage. If they do win one, they'll need to be lucky. Farage must be aware of this. And yet he has ruled out standing in any by-election before the next election. what would he gain from being an MP anyway. He'd be like Galloway, isolated as a loner there.
