​ANU Senior Lecturer Pat Leslie says Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage thought he could “settle the debate” on the controversy regarding his finances by resigning and triggering a by-election. ​“I think when Nigel Farage called the by-election to try to get ahead of increasing speculation in questioning about his financial situation, he thought he could settle the debate politically with a by-election against all of the major parties,” Mr Leslie told Sky News Australia. ​“But what’s happened is all of the major parties have decided not to field a candidate.”
