I don’t know what caused him to step back, last time.
Could have been persuaded that he would split the Tory Vote & Labour would get in,
Or, when counting his chances of seats, maybe didn’t look good enough?
Actually in the previous elections Farage and his party got more votes than any other party, but because they were spread about the constituencies he didn’t win any seats.

I’ve explained this many times, so I apologise for repeating myself. Nigel stood down, presumably in agreement with Boris, to avoid letting Labour in by default.
Boris, rather than agreeing any policies with Nigel, then completely ignored him and became the leader of a new Green-Liberal party.

Going by the majority of opinions on here, it looks like we’re going to continue with the usual Conservative - Labour pendulum politics for the foreseeable future…
with just one minor inconvenience:
the Conservatives are no longer Conservative!

It’s OK to dream though!
If it gets half as bad as some are forecasting, there might be a chance of getting a start.

@JBR , Sorry JB, but l don’t think Nigel is that Gullible to
believe anything Boris says ?
Donkeyman! 
Yes, I’m sure he knows better now, but I believe that at the time he probably trusted the liar.
