Brexit Party boss Nigel Farage has finally decided not to run candidates in the conservative party's 317 conservative constituencies in the next 12 December legislative elections in the UK.

Contrary, Nigel Farage explained that after careful reflection, he had decided to grant Boris Johnson "a half-chance" to stop a new referendum and complete the Brexit . The Euro-phobic leader is therefore giving up the idea of running for seats where the Conservatives won in 2017 and will focus on the seats held by the Labor Party in the pro-Brexit regions.
Nigel Farage presented this decision as a kind of Alliance Leave with the conservatives, but unilateral; in fact, the former boss of the Ukip has bent under the pressure of his own candidates some of whom had already withdrawn in favor of the conservatives to avoid dividing the camp favorable to an exit of the European Union. This is an extremely significant decision that could help the Conservatives consolidate their 2017 earnings.
This announcement was welcomed by the party of Boris Johnson. But the Prime Minister does not win: the Brexit Party could still have a decisive impact on the outcome of the election if their candidates give the Conservatives key seats in Labor-Pro-Brexit Bastions, where the Conservatives have just need to prevail to win the absolute majority in Parliament.
