Left-wing followers, why should I not support this man? Genuine question.
He's my age, speaks directly to me, about an area near me, points out what I've seen myself. Hard not to get swept up in it all
It is the honour of my life to be standing as Restore Britain's parliamentary candidate for Sittingbourne and Sheppey.
These towns were once at the heart of the British Empire. Under the leadership of Restore Britain, that greatness and prosperity will return.
It's staggering to see how unmovable (any) government's stance on immigration is.
Entire town of Gosport under dispersal order, bluelight escort from Portsmouth beach, facilities going ahead in Piddington despite residents using EVERY democratic means possible to oppose. Why?
Decline. Huge decline.
People have protested, written to MPs and done everything they can. Even the council objected.
Yet those in government who are meant to represent the people have once again chosen not to listen.
as a kid this is the Harry Potter movie that really resonated with me because for a young boy your entire life is just dealing with this exact woman forever
My job is not the same as, say, Steve Laws whom I disagree heavily with but has not given an inch on identity
Evangelising the normies is the more important front and is what happened to me by people like Pete North
Data visualisations and policy are the only way to win cleanly
The sensiblist in me tells me this is nothing, simply words on paper. It changes nothing materially, the same way Black/Asian British did.
It's not wise for sensible Labourists/Rightists to waste political capital on opposing it when we need to be winning more normal people over

I'm a realist and support the UK rejoining the EU not because I'm some washed millenial FBPE in denial but because the empire is lost and it is never coming back.
We need to understand our place and do our job as Europe's California and do it well.
A lot of Republican cope is that they can win back votes guaranteed through structural means but it's lost on most of them that they should try the Maybe Just Win More Votes strategy?
Something very unpopular to say, but if Republicans go on to lose the presidency in 2028, the midterm snapback in 2030 would be absolutely biblical.
1. The anti-Trump vote goes away
2. The Republicans mid-decade redistricting is STILL in play for a lot of states and would revert back quickly in a normal environment, even harsher in a red wave.
3. The 2030 state and local elections are largely responsible for new maps. This would include maps drawn without VRA2 and all the red districts that would be acquired (primarily from CA). Even crazier: Picking off blue states, even via a fluke means Republicans would get a seat at their redistricting table.
Basically Dems mistimed their big night. 2026 is largely inconsequential.
Only downside is not many Senate seats are gettable in 2030. AZ and NV are the ones that jump out the most. WI and MI (lol!) are next up. Maybe NY at this point?
This is honestly a much healthier political environment, between social democrats and conservatives who fundamentally disagree. Unlike populists and centrists who try to out-do their opponents on their own ground.
I like this
There is no reason why parties from the Greens to Restore could argue against UBI replacing all current welfare and Land Value Tax replacing council tax/business rates
If Marx were alive he'd describe these new classes in the West:
1. The Welfare class (don't pay tax, take benefits)
2. The Working class (Nick 30 ans, paypigs, do not take benefits)
3. The Rich class (don't pay tax, no benefits)
Political parties will reflect these in time
@HarryLewisssw7 First legitimate answer, thank you.
My devil's advocate response is whether being neoliberal or ex-tory, yet supposedly on the money with immigration, is worse/better than being on the money with economics and the working class, but wrong on immigration

Class today = your financial interaction with the state
The Welfare class is new, only possible thanks to the generous and expansive welfare state, who pay in nothing and take only
The New Working class is everyone who pays taxes
Nouveau Riche are nondoms, offshore, etc.
