Farage tried to shaft Boris by standing over 600 candidates. Boris shafted
Nigel back by conceding nothing and then going on to win the day.

You completely fail to understand the necessarily unspoken
pre-election agreement between Nigel and Boris. Failure to grasp
things that to others are self-evident is one of your key personality
flaws, as you perpetually and regularly demonstrate here.

"When constituencies are small their elected representatives must concern themselves with
the local interests of their constituents. When political representatives are distant and
faceless, on the other hand, and represent vast numbers of unknown constituents, they
represent not their constituents, but special interest groups whose lobbyists are numerous
and ever present. Typically in Europe a technocrat is an ex-politician or a civil servant.
He is unelected, virtually impossible to dislodge during his term of employment and has
been granted extensive executive and even legislative power without popular mandate and
without being directly answerable to the people whose interests he falsely purports to
represent."
