AraNigel Farage steps down as MEP to return with a 'plebiscite' between him and the Westminster establishmentara.catIn a typical maneuver of the populist that he is, Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform Party, announced this Tuesday midday that he is resigning as MP for Clacton-on-sea, a decision that will trigger a by-election in which he has already confirmed he will run again as a candidate. Farage has justified the move by stating that he wants the electors, and not "the establishment" in Westminster, to judge his conduct after the controversy generated in recent weeks by the investigations opened by Parliament into his finances.
