@GrumpyOldM79813 Maybe, but I don’t think that’s Lowe’s purpose as the gamble is too great of a risk

@EspressoLucid It’s also the perfect trap, as Farage will have to say he’s not bothered about Britain remaining a majority white Christian country if he rejects the offer. This was always the plan, Manchester was the final chess piece.

@AscendedYield The true purpose of devolution is to grow the bureaucracy so that the ruling ideology (leftist globalism) becomes more entrenched which makes change more difficult to achieve

How do you reconcile the voter turnout for the Manchester mayoral election being so low and the supposed desire for greater devolution?

@HiberEuli Lowe has to walk the line of being faithful to his supporters whilst offering an olive branch to Farage and Reform, the latter being the most important aspect in all of this

@HiberEuli Tbf, he’s half right. It’s not a merger but also not a trap. I think Lowe is being sincere.

@Albrochier @plumbingjedi If push comes to shove I’d rather see 5 years of Braverman than 5 years of Miliband Sadly Hitler isn’t available today

That’s good on the latter. On his terms, I think there are two motivations behind what he said. (1) to signal to his base that he will stand by and advocate for more radical immigration policies, push the Overton window. (2) a message to Farage that he wants to put party politics to the side for the benefit of the country.

Rupert did not propose a merger with Reform, I have absolutely zero idea how Connor got that impression The collaboration proposal is an ingenious way to throw back all the vote splitting arguments (our Achilles heel) in Farage’s face. We know Reform can’t ever win a general election without us, but Farage will still refuse and look awful. There is no way for Farage to respond to (or ignore) this and look good, and obviously he would never accept. If Connor wants a role at Reform (which seems obvious), he should just ask outright, it would be more honest
Connor Tomlinson@Con_Tomlinson

100,000+ potential members. Their choice of the Restore team as Reform staff. (Some of whom they wish were in Reform already.) Rupert's seat on the Public Accounts Committee. Regaining lost credibility on deportations, rape gangs, etc. Youth support. A monopoly on the "anti-establishment" brand on the right, with no viable rivals. The reasons to do it outnumber the reasons to reject Rupert's offer. Whether the bitterness between the men outweighs sense, however, is another matter.

@MontyCristo11 Lowe has likely realised they can’t win the next GE but could take enough votes to harm Reform, which gives him leverage. Maybe there’s a better time, but I think the olive branch is a good move.

@shunty19 Ideally you want the Tories out the picture but an alliance is better than Labour again. And I’m sure there are people within Restore that were against Lowe doing this.

@EspressoLucid Interesting... if they can also get some sort of alliance with a purged Cons party, then the outlook could look a bit more positive on the right

@itaintwhiteboy @Albrochier Fair points and I agree. There would be no civil war or coup, the threat the government would face is losing the next general election. So it is through democracy that change happens.

@EspressoLucid @Albrochier People did rebel against the poll tax but that was a very specific thing against a very specific policy. If people on mass are going to protest/rebel against paying council tax, then it needs to be clear what exactly is the demand. Can’t be vague like “elites bad”

Spain has deployed its Army to directly repel the invasion. They are using pepper spray. They are not messing around. What happened to the ECHR - to which Spain is a signatory? Even Spain’s far left government is using troops to defend its border using force. The very thing Tory and Labour governments have told us is impossible.

@Albrochier Restore turnout is actually impressive so I agree. This needs to be sorted out before the next election.

This essay is inspired by many writers, but there is one that I'd like to name which is Curtis Yarvin. I believe he is one of the most important thinkers today.
