Farage announces BXP will not stand in the 317 constituencies won by the Cons in 2017 

I was most disappointed in ERG (Tory Spartans) betrayal. Nigel be like "hold my pint".. SAD!
BXP was never going to win many (any) seats in a FPTP election, but they COULD have been the one political group with PRINCIPLES, and they could have at least alerted people to the facts about the Boris Treaty. When the people wake up and realise that Boris deal is STEALTH REMAIN they might well have turned to BXP as at least sticking to it's principles.
Corbyn was NEVER going to "get in" unless stupid people voted for him, and if they did they would deserve the consequences. BXP was NEVER going to win seats in a FPTP election, but they COULD have stuck by principles, and gained support in next election, when people wake up and realise that Boris conned them. The fact remains that Boris deal is STEALTH REMAIN and so it does NOT advance "Brexit" if Farage steps aside to facilitate Boris.
The maths suggests that BXP might now contest 314 seats. So 286 candidates all set to go will need to step down, along with their support staff and volunteered etc
Sounds like a plan... get BXP MPs elected to hold Boris to account. Problem is... BXP are NOT going to win any seats in a FPTP election, certainly not enough to be any sort of influence group in Parliament. Boris tells lies and the same old gang will be back in Parliament (mostly). Brexit dies when Boris ratifies his treaty (STEALTH REMAIN), but it may be years before the people wake up and realise they were conned. The transition will NOT end in 2020. I doubt it will end ever. Nigel will be back on LBC.
