They really think he'll win many votes from Farage?
I'm not really sure that gamble will pay off. It will if be pushed brexit through, maybe, but even then it will mean lots of other voters may mobilize to stop a majority in government for the Conservatives.
Not sure it's a good long term strategy but the long term thinking seems lacking ATM.
JWestland-
There is no long term strategy, it’s just a case of say what you can to get more power, which is why we had Theresa May as PM and why next we’ll end up with the British Trump because he knows what to lies to say to get in.

Of course, they believe Boris will take us out of the EU. With that the Farage vote collapses.

Johnson is promising Brexit at all costs and is a bit of a personality cult. He'd pick up loads of votes from Farage.

I think you miss understood my point so I’ll try again.
Boris being bad for the majority (whilst protecting his base) is of zero political cost to the rightwing of the Conservative party (the members) because the masses move right under the hard times he’s likely to bring in the future.
This is why members can believe he is both a/ somewhat incompetent, b/ the right candidate.
Who voted how in the referendum... is just a different conversation I think.
