What Rupert posts and then says, is 2 different things 😂 It shows that he is not a leader, he doesn’t know himself what he stands for. He should have called his party Revenge, that would be more clear what he wants and what he stands for. His the main goal is to damage Reform. He doesn’t give a shit about the country. He creates mess and division.
It’s about policy direction and preparation. Reform are vague, incoherent and honestly do they actually believe in anything, and more so can you trust Farage. History teaches us no. Where as Restore are developing policy that is coherent, costed and desirable. Lowe is a breath of fresh air, by far the most hard working and I’d say competent MP in parliament. Compare that to Farage’s record in both Westminster and the EU…. There’s a huge difference!
While I hoped both Lowe and Farage might be able to turn our country around from the three decades of Suicidal Empathy that has infected the minds of the overwhelming majority of MPs I'm also a realist and realise that the 'Right' still has a great deal more work to do before it becomes a viable force.
So with the above in mind I see the uniparties, in one form or another, struggling on and failing at virtually every turn with the country's decline continuing a pace. In the meantime the 'Right' needs more time to get its shit together as has always been the case with the new parties.
The facts are that our history shows it takes anywhere from 15 to 24 years for a new political party to evolve, build a mass base, and win an outright majority. Due to the 'First Past the Post' electoral system, breaking into the traditional two-party duopoly is exceptionally difficult.
This fact is proved by the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties although the latter, from formation, only took office through a coalition with the Conservatives.
At 75 I hope to live long enough to see an effective and popular Right of Centre party take power but there is certainly more work to do and Farage and Lowe are sadly not the answer.
If Farage was not such a charlatan and corrupting individual and had stayed with UKIP and run it competently, rather than for his own personal gain, UKIP by now would have existed for 30 odd years be seriously competing for office.
In the meantime, I'm sad to say, our misgovernment continues.
I agree with your sentiments Niall. I would disagree with you about the Uniparty however. The Tories are largely dead and it’s hard to see a way back for them. Kemi’s doing a decent job but changing perceptions of the Tories after the Boris Johnson madness will take some doing. So we’re left with Labour. Burnham has said he wants to change FPTP to PR but he’ll soon realise FPTP is a delicious method to deliver him continual majorities when you chuck in a hearty slice of gerrymandering. In short? Nothing will change and Reform will die as Farage gives up n
The problem is that nationalism is incoherent and nonsensical unless it's ethnonationalism. The current fundamental problem is that there are tens of millions (if not hundreds of millions) of Indians and Africans that want to migrate to anglophone countries and Europe and there's clearly no political will to prevent that except for amongst the ethnonationalist fringe.
Look at the state of Canada: thanks to the banking interests it has a target of 100 million population by the whenever so Canada will effectively become a province of India. The traditionally French-Canadian parts of Canada seem to be wanting to secede and become a new American State but how, exactly, is that going to solve their problem...
How you feel about the most extreme and crazy people in Restore is how a majority of the electorate feel about Reform. Hence the negative polarisation we’re seeing leading to the three recent by-election defeats. A critical mass of voters are highly motivated to vote against Reform.
Yes, you're correct, even if that means that Greens and Lib Dumbs will hold their noses and vote Labour to achieve that end (and vice versa). It's why they're so very keen on PR, as it achieves the desired outcome (the exclusion of the Right from any policy outcomes) without them having to think about it.
Don't know about you but all that I have seen across the pond is political gerrymanderimg to no end while the Brits are being raped murdered and enslaved by their own people like every else in the E.U.So what is the issue with getting rid of "all illegals " regardless of race? It should be obvious as Musk points out fight or die no in between.To even suggest that Restore has no credible mandate or direction borders on insanity.If Restore never existed would this concept of closed borders ever see the light of day! I can't see Farage going against the Labour party and winning on any issue concerning murder rape of all White Brits because they own the media the Houses the police the judiciary the Child protective services ( what a joke ( biggest pimps outside of ghetto countries)
Morning - you have to wonder if there is any difference between Reform and Restore, I mean any difference at all. Policy seems to change from one Youtube interview to the next and be dependent solely on what side of the bed uncle Rupes got out of. There is no intellectual foundation or raison d'etre behind Restore, perhaps by design but we don't know.
What we do know is a bunch of different people go into 'Barnham Statement mode' and think this is a party for them.
UltraTory types do it, ethnic nationalists do it, Libertarian and Constitutionalists are also supposed to think Restore is for them. It's all over the place - the State is apparently the enemy and not to be trusted, but who or what is going to set about creating this 'white Utopia' the nationalist set want other than the State?
I think it will survive, in fact I'd be very confident of it going on a while longer - it's just whether in a couple of years it will turn out to be an online fad. When the Reform Civil War breaks out and people start going back to the Tories, not Restore...that'll be when the steward's enquiry will be happening.
And now we have all the Reform supporters crowing that Lowe created Restore in trying to spite Farage. Laughable.
If Lowe needed to get back at Farage he could do it quite EASILY and effectively by recounting over and over the vile smear campaign conducted by Yussuf and Farage against him. Absolutely appalling conduct to get rid of Lowe and his more extreme policies regarding deportation - which ironically, Farage in desperation has adopted.
This is the reason why so many Reform members started to question Farage and his party, and left.
But back to your article. Pete, I admire you as a political commentator whether I agree with you or not, because you go deeper than most and your analysis is worth a read.
With Regard to Restore members though, can I just say you're barking up the wrong tree.
I would imagine most...no ALL political parties harbour followers with dodgy views, anti-semites, racists, extremists, etc and those with questionable views. No party is as pure as the driven snow and made up only of virtuous members or followers without unsavoury beliefs.
In my experience the rank and file of Restore, the grass roots, is made up of wholesome, concerned families, mild-mannered, confused, bewildered or frightened people, terrified of the Labour government hell-bent on bringing the country to it's knees.
The ones I've met don't seem terribly political at all but felt compelled to join (for the first time ever) a party fighting to preserve the country, to prevent it's capitulation, its becoming an Islamic country.
They do, like most, want an end to the Labour free-for-all-if-you-arrive -by-boat immigration policy and would quite like to see the same people deported.
Most also agree with Lowe that many people have no right to be in Britain, are a drain on resources and funds rather than a valuable asset and offer nothing if they remain.It goes without saying that immigrants of a criminal bent shouldn't be kept here either. They are not racist views. They are practical, common sense ones.
No one is after a white Britain. I like many Restore members recognise how valuable skilled, hardworking immigration has helped shape Britain.
There are bad apples in every political barrel, as well as those with extreme and/violent/repulsive views.
On this you are digging too deep regarding who and what drives Restore. Family and concern for the future more than anything seems the factor attracting members, as well as a hatred and utter contempt for Starmer and the Labour Party.

You've described the evolving Tory party, Pete. Who would have guessed?
The voter is the ultimate examiner.
Voters have elected governments along party lines for decades, but have started to think a lot more.
There are parts of the country loyal to the old parties but that loyalty is weakening.
Voters don’t look minutely at policies, they take an over view so being weak in a particular area doesn’t make or break a party.
Why are Restore accused of anti semitism? Weird.
I’m sure most politicians haven’t a clue how their policies will pan out.
After all, they don’t make decisions. Their masters amongst the world ‘elites’ do that.
Politicians just have to look sincere when they read what they’re told and in that respect the baby faced assassin will be a great success.
Oh. I thought we were the popular front of Britannia.
