A joke candidate with a bincan head has about 15-20% odds of winning this election. A serious candidate from a real party could have a real chance of defeating Farage but seems noone was brave enough. Better play it safe, take no risks and run away from fights. Thats the way forward for UK.

No, better to make him look like a corrupt loser running up against a guy in a bin costume. And it works!
Why bother when they'll more likely than not run it again in a few months anyway?
