π¨ *THE RIGHT WILL NEVER UNITE β AND THAT COULD COST ENGLAND EVERYTHING* π¨
The argument over a possible pact between *Restore Britain and Reform UK* has exposed a much bigger problem on the political right.
Rupert Lowe says Restore made a genuine offer based on **policy, electoral reality and avoiding a split vote**.
Reform's response?
According to Lowe, they won't stand candidates aside anywhere, they want an endorsement of Nigel Farage as Prime Minister, and they object to figures within Restore.
And that gets right to the heart of the problem.
*Is this about COUNTRY β or PARTY?*
In this video I look at:
π Why a ReformβRestore pact appears to have collapsed
π Rupert Lowe's argument that policy should come before personality
π Why electoral pacts can themselves distort the democratic process
π The lessons of the old Brexit Party strategy
π Why tiny turnout figures are a much bigger problem than politicians admit
π Why Restore Britain needs to be extremely strategic about where it fights
π The importance of economics, energy, policing, deportation and constitutional policy
π Why arguments, egos and establishment figures could destroy any chance of meaningful change
π And why millions of people who have effectively checked out of politics may ultimately decide the country's future
The Clacton by-election saw only around **44% turnout**.
That means the real battle isn't simply Reform versus Restore.
It's persuading the enormous number of people who have stopped believing that voting can change anything to actually get involved again.
Because parties can argue about percentages, candidates and electoral deals all day long.
But if huge sections of the country stay home, the same political machine keeps turning.
My view?
The right probably isn't going to completely unite.
There are too many personalities, disagreements and competing interests.
So the party that wants to succeed needs something far more important:
*A serious policy programme, disciplined strategy, proper funding and the ability to convince ordinary people that turning out to vote is actually worth it.*
Otherwise, whatever side of the argument you're on, nothing changes.
π *Do you think Reform and Restore SHOULD work together β or is a pact already dead?*
