Wrong. A month ago, Farage tactically withdrew in order to consolidate the conservative vote.

From November 11:

"In a tactical retreat that could have important ramifications, Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s populist Brexit Party, on Monday promised not to run candidates in areas held by the ruling Conservatives. The move was expected to bolster Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s prospects in a topsy-turvy general election next month."

Corbyn is too dangerous to allow to be PM. Farage took the sensible approach and he should have simple targeted Labour seats he knew Tories couldn’t win.

If the UK does regain its sovereignty via Brexit, Farage will still have earned more credit for it than anyone else.

(Though if Boris were somehow to surprise to the upside and go for a hard—that is, real—Brexit, he’d be a real challenger on that front.)

He changed his mind some weeks ago and decided not to challenge in any district with a Conservative candidate since he knew he would split the vote.

The results would have been quite different if he had not done so.
