But to try and have sort of a platform of policies, some specifics for people to actually talk about.
And those have been coming out pretty, you know, pretty fast and furious in recent weeks, far quicker than,
what we've been seeing from the Conservatives.
So part of that move from reform to sort of appeal to, you know, middle England, to the people who would have voted Labour, voted for Boris Johnson in 2019 to get Brexit done.
Those people who angry with the Tories, but just want any government that isn't a Labour government or God forbid, a Labour green coalition
And they're trying to sort of professionalize themselves now with varying levels of success, as we've seen.
But crucially, part of doing that makes them look a little bit more sort of establishment than Rupert Lowe and what he's doing.
And some of the, let's face it,
very, very unsavoury elements who support the Restore Party, including the likes of, you know, the Tommy Robinsons and some, as has been publicised a lot in the last few days, some, you know, blatant neo-Nazis, let's call them what they are.
The left has been throwing the term far right out at anybody who voted for Brexit or isn't a full-on climate change hysteric.

But I mean genuinely far right.
And as everyone knows, elections in Britain
aren't like in Europe, aren't one at the fringes.
They aren't one on left and right, not by socialists, not by the fascists, they're one in the middle.
And that has its own problems because then you're too like the Tories.
You're not radical enough.
You're not progressive in the true sense of the word enough.
And I can see that happening.
But I don't think that reform have peaked as such.
