Newscast · Nigel Farage Resigns As MP · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

Oh, yeah. voice-verified

2008? voice-verified

Yeah, from memory, was it? voice-verified

I think Labour and the Liberal Democrats didn't stand. voice-verified

So he was a Conservative MP, obviously contesting that seat. voice-verified

I think the English Democrats and the Greens did stand, but Labour and the Liberal Democrats didn't. voice-verified

And he did sort of proclaim victory for his cause, which was civil liberties. voice-verified

But yeah, I think when other parties don't stand, they do it very deliberately, don't they, as a strategy to try and take the wind out of the sails as the person that's triggered the by-election. voice-verified

And obviously the voice-verified

aim of the parties that choose not to run in any contest is to effectively kind of try and diminish the victory of whoever ends up winning. voice-verified

Whereas I guess the victors might argue, you know, people could choose to stand if they want to and the voters have a verdict. voice-verified

Well, possibly, because there might be people, I mean, there will absolutely be people that do want to vote for Nigel Farage because they did that in the last election. voice-verified

But the people who don't want to vote for Nigel Farage might want an alternative and might feel a bit peeved not having one. voice-verified

Who knows? voice-verified

I mean, there's so many variables in a by-election like this. voice-verified

There are in any kind of by-election. voice-verified

But when it's kind of high profile like this, there's just so many variables. voice-verified

It's kind of... voice-verified

you know, hard at this stage to see how it will all run. voice-verified

But I do think it's fair to say it's a big political gamble. voice-verified
