I see it as a Win-win-win for everybody.
If Farr wins, he gets a better paying cushy job. If he loses, he gets more name recognition, something that I think will be important in the next council election since Cameron is gaining traction, and people have become tired of Farr's antics. Not to mention the large population shift that has occurred in Ward 2 most of which won't have Farr in mind already if they go to the polls.
If Farr wins, the liberals get a quiet backbencher who won in part on his name recognition in Hamilton. If he loses, they won't miss anything of too much value.
It's a match made in the liberal heaven.
