A look at the results for Nigel Farage MP in his previous electoral runs since 1994 reveals an interesting upward trend. If compared to the incumbent Conservative Party front-runner that same year (excluding two by-elections), however, it doesn’t show such a confident upward streak.
The fact is Nigel Farage needs to win against a Conservative leader in future to take the reins of conservatism. He would need to look beyond Rishi Sunak’s result this year and see he falls far short by thousands. This is based on a showing of his own constituency results and no other’s.
