        Ah, so this is to prevent any distractions from the investigation. Got it.

          Pretty much, also means Farage can’t claim that the people have shown they don’t care about his money because he was voted in a second time.

          What can happen is if Farage wins, the investigation continues and there’s a very real chance he’ll be suspended so another election will be called.

          Each election costs about 450k of public money, so Count Binface can say that just by electing him and him doing literally nothing, he’s saving the public nearly half a million quid.
