All of Farage’s supporters turned out - more votes for him this time than last time.

They get what they deserve.

And all the rest also get what Farage's voters deserve. Such is the power of Democracy.

another expensive byelection. Farage has just wasted public funds to justify taking a big bribe

The Conservative party ran in the last election, they didn't run in this election, so more right wing voters likely moved from Conservative to Farage than he got 110% of his normal core/base.

Jaywick next door to clacton on sea was the most deprived place in the UK before he came along. He can hardly make it worse.

From their perspective all this attention is probably better than being ignored even though the attention is for all the wrong reasons.

After all, what did nameless generic tory #4 ever do for them? what would labour do? Probably nothing much, just like farage.
