GB News interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg

Tell me, what is Restore's view of the current political situation? The Prime Minister fighting for his political life, the Mandelson scandal, and a civil service that could possibly be doing the right thing or one that's utterly out of control. Where Where is Restore on that?

Three or four people looked at honestly This was a poll of 2,200 people. And your name recognition has actually gone down in the last year. There's obviously a margin of error. That's fine.

Okay, but Nigel has taken 30 years on the public stage to get to the point where his party is sometimes at 30% in the polls. How credible at 30% in the polls. It no longer is. how credible is it to go from nothing, no name recognition, no real public profile, one MP on his own, to winning an election? Don't you need to be working with the Conservative Party, as you are on the public accounts

But diluting yourself really matters because if you make it more likely in 2029 that we get a coalition of possibly Angela Rayner, Zack Polanski, and whoever the SNP leader is, that is disastrous for the country. This isn't a game. This is really serious.

in if you bring in if you bring in new voters, that still doesn't get you to winning majority. It still leads to the same problem of the right split.

But it doesn't work like that in a first-past-the-post system. There isn't a common sense vote. There's a vote for Reform, there's a vote for Restore, there's a vote for the Tories. If the three of them split the vote, we get a left-wing government.

That's right. But if you take the turnout of the last election was just under 70%. It had fallen off the actually 2019 was 70%. There's a lot of people who haven't voted. 30% If you got all of those 30% vote, which is inconceivable because even in the 1950s we were only getting up to an 80% voter level, but let's say you do, you're still not necessarily even coming first.

But Tory Um What I'm trying to get on to is that actually, if you reunite the right it is not a one-nation right. The one-nation rump in the Tory party is now very small. If you speak to Tory members, which I do quite a lot of, the one-nation rump doesn't exist. And that if we can bring that together, we have a real opportunity for victory that can do what both of us want, whereas you flying your own kite actually doesn't do anything, and you won't get what you want. You'll get the precise opposite, which is a continuation of the hard left running this country.
