The people of Clacton need to be informed about Farage's record as their MP, because they don't seem all that curious to find out for themselves that he's a terrible MP
I think this is his exit strategy. He want's to force a by-election before he is found guilty by the standards inquiry. If he looses he gets to claim "witch hunt" and walks away to his next grift. But if he wins he has to face the inquiry again. So he is absolutely banking on loosing. The problem is that none of the other parties are playing his game. He will go head to head with Count Binface who could actually make hime look very foolish when the protest vote, Farage disillusionment and voter apathy combine to create the perfect storm of an ultra low voter turnout. This is definitely an exit play.
Another attention seeking stunt. You bbc are partly responsible for enabling this man,due to the unwarranted coverage you give him. If any other minor 'party' leader resigns, then someone else takes over. He has had too much attention.
