And like, certainly when you have a platform, like I believe you should do that.
But you can also have a laugh and like poke fun at the ridiculousness of the situation and try and have a space where,
Yeah, it's just easier to exist without there being much hatred and stuff.
So yeah, it's a really nice little community we've got there.
I definitely think we can.
I think we've, in the last few months as a party, we have absolutely come out fighting and people really see that.
And that's built on the decades of other people in the party working hard and chipping away.
We've become an incredible force in very recent months.
And I think it is possible.
So much of what I talk about is about...
encouraging and inspiring other people from like normal backgrounds to get into politics and I've done that since I was a councillor like I always encourage everybody to try and get involved like I did because I think that is the only way that will really change things by having more people who don't just as a teenager decide like I want to be an MP and like go to like do everything in their career to get them to that path we need more people from more background in politics
But I know we need to earn people's trust.
And, you know, this campaign has been four weeks and I can't convince everybody forever that I'm going to rebuild that trust in that four weeks.
But I can do that over a term in Parliament.
And that's what I will do.
And people are really recognising that, like, I know you can't earn someone's trust overnight, but I know that you can give them a glimpse of who you are and what you believe in and ask them to trust you.
And then when you're elected, like, you can really earn and build that trust.
And I think this election will send shockwaves through the political system because it will just show, one, that that old political party system has just completely died.
But I think it will also show that it is possible for us to rip away the power from the elite and the establishment and get people like us sat on those benches,
talking about what we see in our jobs, in our lives, like what our communities are saying and have decisions that are made with us at heart.
