On benders
Hi.
"Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, protested at the way in which postal ballots had been sent out within three days of the election being called. He said: "I have been on benders for longer than the opening of the nominations and the start of the postal ballots. This has been a farce."" [From The Guardian.]
What does the "to be on benders for" mean in such a context?
Thank you.
