Original Note:
In both South Thanet & Clacton the Tories were the main contenders to Farage. In the former, Labour claimed that Tory voters had shifted to Labour, in the latter Labour had no chance from the start, so fielding Labour candidates would have helped Farage in either case. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/07/south-thanet-ukip-hysteria-nigel-farage-general-election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Thanet_(UK_Parliament_constituency) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_(UK_Parliament_constituency)
