A note to Restore voters: I know ‘Vote Restore, Get Labour’ irritates some people so let me explain why I say it. Because it’s the truth. Voting Restore will hand this country to the Left. We’ve seen it in Dover, Blackpool, Dudley, and elsewhere. I get why Restore voters are livid. I am angrier than you with the state of the country, I suspect. But the reality is that the Right will lose the next general election if it does not consolidate. Roughly 60% of left-wing voters tell pollsters they are voting tactically. That’s Green or Lib Dems voting Labour not because they agree with Labour or Burnham. But because they want to stop the Right and they are putting the wider mission, not their party, first. But only 30% of right-wing voters are doing the same. The Left is much more disciplined and ruthless than the Right. The reason Burnham and Labour are now back on 30-32% is because they are winning back left wing voters who are willing to do whatever it takes to control the country. Greens holding their nose to vote Labour. Lib Dems holding their nose to do the same. 2024 Labour voters coming home to Labour to stop the Right. And they are on course to do it. All MRP polls suggest the Left is on course to win the next general election, whether by winning a majority or in coalition. That means more migration. More refugees. More taxes. More two-tier policies. More open borders. More soft-on-Islamism. More EU and free movement. And a system of PR to ensure the Left continue to dominate Britain going forward. They will give children, migrants and refugees the vote. They will turn a blind eye to family voting and mass postal fraud. That is what is about to happen. They will control Britain until at least the 2030s, maybe longer. Because they are boxing clever. Many pro-Restore voices who claim to represent you are fully invested in dividing the Right. Their YouTube channels, their “independent media”, their entire existence depends on amplifying the splits, the drama, the chaos on the Right. Those people will be fine under this long period of left-wing rule. They will continue to scream into their phones and encourage you to do the same. Rupert Lowe will probably end up in the Lords, put there by the same Tories who just put him on a committee and who he himself says “he talks to all the time”. But the British people, the country, will lose out. It is the people who will be screwed. And just look at the total hypocrisy. Restore criticise Reform for taking one or two ex-conservatives. While Restore is literally standing ex-Tories at the next general election!! You do know this? I just think you are being led up the garden path by a lot of people who do not understand how first-past-the-post systems work and are invested in sowing chaos. The only way the Left is stopped is by winning a broad coalition. That coalition is there. At recent local elections upwards of 50% have been voting for right-wing parties. But Labour and Green candidates have been winning on just 25-30% of the vote. That is your next general election. It’s not about Nigel, or Rupert, or even Reform or Restore. It is about the country. It is about the British people. Look at France right now. One right-wing party is preparing to win the presidency and power. Another is flailing around on 3%. Do you want power or 3%? To leave the ECHR or 3%? To end mass migration or 3%? To ban Muslim Brotherhood or 3%? To stop the boats or 3%? To end welfare for foreign nationals and slash overseas aid or 3%? It is about whether the Right is going to be smart enough, ruthless enough and disciplined enough to put the country first. Because if we don’t we will lose it. It is that simple. The Left understand what is required to win power. Many people on the Right currently do not. That has to change otherwise it is game over.
