I hope that count binface runs on a policy of requiring candidates that resign and then run again as being responsible for the election cost.

And, of course, that investigations of impropriety don’t pause when there is a reeelection. Rather they become more transparent, releasing all available information that is pertinent.

But then if a candidate paid for the by-election they would be paying for voting officials, counters, etc and that can easily lead to all sorts of wrong doing. No wonder Farage's offer to pay was turned down
