Well said and you have been proved 100% right.

The trouble is these ethnonationalist don't understand how politics works and standing in their own right and colours would only attract a minority of the nutter brigade. This is why they always try and leech onto existing parties.

I still believe Rupert Lowe is probably the most competent individual in Westminster but he doesn't understand how successful party politics works. He still has some months to 'Restore' his party's fortunes but he still has a huge mountain to climb, I'm afraid I'd say impossible, if he thinks, as I know first hand he does, that he wants to be PM after the next election.

The parties on the Right still have a long way to go to become a workable united body and I'm still of the opinion that a united Left, based on their hatred of the Right, will cobble together a coalition at the next election. This will result in a complete collapse of our country from which a unified Right will be needed to slowly rebuild our country brick by individual brick but at least the Left will have been destroyed.

I wonder will it be possible for even a unified right to come together after the next election and win the time after? We know the left will introduce a form of PR should they win next time. You can bet it’ll be a form of PR that most suits them. I really fear that if we do not unite like the left for the next election then the game is up and we say goodbye to democracy and hello to low grade civil war.

My educated guess is that the Left will be so discredited the Right will manage to come together one way or another.

However I might also be completely wrong??!!!

I’ve been even less impressed by Burnham than I thought I’d be and the DT are doing a proper job on him. Badenoch will roast him in PMQs and Farage is a far better communicator when it comes to debates. Also it’s interesting that all three parties on the right are starting to say several shades of the same thing - savings through benefit cuts and civil service and quango cuts to pre covid levels. Maybe the Overton Window is shifting and maybe there could be peace between the Corleone families?

If Reform and Restore are so close that you couldn’t get a fag paper between them, for goodness sake talk to each other and sort this mess out.

Farage is not a man anyone can trust and is certainly not big enough to share power.

Good piece as ever Pete - I've joined the SDP by the way. Thought you should know.

I like the SDP — and definitely William Clouston But how is that a more real-politic decision than voting Restore?

Laura Nelson's avatar

What, the William Clouston who has left the party?!

The Haeft's avatar

I think he resigned as leader -- probably loss of Rodd LIddle

The Haeft's avatar

He left?? really

Well for the sake of any future generations of the U.K. the leaders had better set aside their differences as time is running out not only that elections are fixed it is so obvious.At least the public is aware and demanding concrete solutions while they are gas

Excellent article Mr. N! Makes me more likely to vote for them if any candidates pop up in my area . . .

The 3 words that released believers of remigration from retreating/back stepping responses to accusations of ‘you’re a racist’ was “I don’t care”.

Those 3 words may have attracted a few nutters, but every party has nutters, it goes with the territory - Lammy Cleverly Davey Polanski? (why do they all end in ee?)

If Lowe had restrained himself, by accepting previous political norms that 3 word FU sentence would never have been uttered.

It has freed discussion, (despite the governments attacks on free speech).

People like Charlie Downes, the Lotus Eaters and Katy Hopkins have challenged the Staci policing of the Uniparty.

Thank God there are people like the above - and I haven’t forgotten Tommy Robinson, the bravest of all.

@Pete North You only make sense on the assumption that a conservative election victory would do something …anything… to turn the ship around. Racing towards an iceberg versus moving quickly towards the same iceberg is not a choice. Two flavours of the same dog-turd ice-cream. I don’t want ice-cream. I don’t distinguish between vanilla and chocolate flavoured dog shite.

Fill your boots. But I’m never going to eat shit
