Have been trying to puzzle out how Farage's campaign strategy can lead to the kind of Brexit he wants and it's pretty much impossible to see.
If Tories don't win, the (unpalatable) options are a diluted version of Boris's deal (eg customs union), some other more Remain-y version (eg Labour's renegotiated deal), or no Brexit at all
If there's a second referendum, it will only have no deal on the ballot if the question is being set by those actively trying to avoid/sabotage Brexit. Otherwise it will be current deal (or Labour deal) vs Remain
(Remember: Parliament gets to set the terms of any second referendum, including question, electorate etc. So in circumstances where we have one - ie hung parl or minority Lab govt - it's likely to be skewed towards Remain.)
So if we have that second referendum, does Farage campaign for the deal-type option? If so, why not support Boris's deal now? Or does he sulk in his tent, Achilles-style?
Genuinely if people can see a convincing pathway towards a more Farage-friendly Brexit, I'd love to hear it. As it is, his strategy/priority seems to essentially be 'Remain and complain'...
