‘He thought he could settle the debate’: Farage by-election versus Binface set for August 13
ANU Senior Lecturer Pat Leslie says Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage thought he could “settle the debate” on the controversy regarding his finances by resigning and triggering a by-election.
“I think when Nigel Farage called the by-election to try to get ahead of increasing speculation in questioning about his financial situation, he thought he could settle the debate politically with a by-election against all of the major parties,” Mr Leslie told Sky News Australia.
“But what’s happened is all of the major parties have decided not to field a candidate.”
