Ukip backs Zac Goldsmith in Richmond Park by-election
Well, this will make things easier for the Liberal Democrats in the forthcoming Richmond Park by-election.
Ukip has decided not to run a candidate and to praise Zac Goldsmith instead.
As Tim Farron says:
Zac Goldsmith claimed Brexit has nothing to do with this by-election. The very public endorsement he has picked up from the party of Nigel Farage nails that lie.
Zac Goldsmith was already the Conservative Party candidate. Now he is also the UKIP candidate. His campaign is the Nigel and Zac show.
UKIP’s website expressly states that it is vital for supporters of Hard Brexit to defeat the Liberal Democrats in Richmond Park, and praises Zac Goldsmith for being ‘fully committed to getting Britain out of the European Union’.
This by-election presents a golden opportunity to defeat one of the leading Brexiteers who is determined to even take Britain out of the Single Market.
