Would you make amends with Rupert Lowe and work together with the restore party ?

Sue Ward's avatar

I don’t think Kemi would allow Rupert to do that!

Looking forward to this! My question for Nigel:

I know you and Rupert Lowe have some sharp differences. But a divided Right plays into the hands of the Globalists, Marxists and Islamists. Isn't it time that you both resolve your differences and reunite?

I like the idea of deporting 100,000’s but we can’t even deport 1 child abuser because Pakistan won’t take him back. How are you going to persuade countries to take these people back?

I voted reform in 2024 when you marketed the party as a hard line solution to immigration, beaurocracy and over taxation. I've slowly seen the party pander towards the centrist crowd to try and pick up more votes whilst backpedaling on your original promises. Why should i continue to vote reform when restore aligns closer with the original reform values than the current reform party?

Because Restore will never be more than a minority party. You have to win power to do anything. Restore will never appeal to enough people to change anything.

You have no way of knowing that. Politics is very unpredictable and things change quickly. At one point people used your arguement to shut down reform and now they're on track to form the next government. Restore is already polling at ~7% despite being launched very recently.

Restore won’t apeal to moderate voters unless Rupert does something about the growing angry Neo nationalist element.

Good question although I don’t agree with you. Be very interesting to hear Nigel’s reply though.

Do you take seriously Dominic Cummings recent warning to you that Whitehall will break the law to prevent Reform winning power? As a Reform member, together with members I know, this warning is absolutely spot on. And "the blob" need to be taken down!

Is it time to take the Milei approach?

Hello Nigel, the whole concept of political journalism is supposedly to "hold truth to power", given that you're currently a minor Parliamentary party, why do you think the MSM go after you in a manner they don't do towards the government? I watched last weekend on X Dan Hodges go after you for asking very reasonable questions about the brutal murder of Ann Widecombe, questions you would expect a journalist to ask of the Police.

What is Reform's plan to bring back all the talent and capital that have fled the country over the past decade? Does a British Aliyah program need to be instituted now in order to ensure that economic revitalization is even possible?

Can you get him to watch your recent Ed Husain video or read some of his books? I'd like him to be prime minister and Ed Husain pointed out that the average Muslim is most at risk from the perversion of Islam from religion and spirituality to political ideology. That's a more nuanced position than most people have and likely vote winning to the average Muslim who doesn't want their children radicalized.

Your critics frequently accuse you of being anti-immigrant. Can you articulate examples of the laws and policies that you want to enact that would both demonstrate that you have compassion for non-native Brits and that your intentions are fair and reasonable? What should I say to the next person who tells me “Farage is a racist xenophobe,” other than “He says he’s not.”?

Not so much a question as a plea.

Would Nigel confirm he won’t let our appalling

uni party establishment crush his resolve to save this country? They’re fighting even dirtier now , who knew that was possible? So if they fix the Clacton vote will he still stay on as leader of Reform? 🙏

Is there any belief that a secular society can rely on to hold it together in the face of a profoundly and deeply held religious one that wants to supplant the secular one?

Thanks Nigel for over the years pointing out all the stuff that’s gone so wrong (very much appreciated in multiple fronts). Now please paint us the picture of what it’ll be like when you’re the PM, locally, nationally and internationally. Thanks!

I believe that unchecked - islam will take over the police, the councils and eventually parliament.

Do you agree and will you do anything to stop it?

The relentless personal attacks and lawfare will continue just stick in there you know what they threw at trump! Good luck putting up with it, make up with lowe and unite the right, if you cant make up at least strategically not cross over candidates in seats or something.

Can anyone point me to the link where I can see Nigel answer these questions? New to the substack world but trying to find the 'join us in the substack' video.

If it's not too late: do you think proportional representation could insure we better representation of our interests in parliament? The Westminster system seems to restrict voter input to for/against the incumbent, rather than reflecting actual policies.
