It’s a bold strategy. Let’s see if it pays off for Nigel Farage
I would expect Nigel Farage to win the first by-election even if Rupert Lowe’s take a chunk of votes from Farage, I just cannot see Labour, Lib Dems, and Greens vote tactically for the Tories here. A second by-election might be a bit more complicated, Nigel Farage’s resignation only pauses the investigation. The campaign for this by-election might be exciting because there’s lot of unanswered questions about the donations Farage has received, last night showed he doesn’t like scrutiny. TSE
