Is Rupert Lowe’s newly forming political party, ‘Restore Britain,’ really Britain’s last hope to preserve its culture? Apparently, Elon Musk thinks so.
On the other hand, Nigel Farage, leader of Britain’s Reform UK, strongly disagrees:
“Unless we are able to provide a proper democratic antidote to this, then I fear that we will see a rise of a really worrying dangerous form of extreme right ethno-nationalism. And I think that we’re beginning over the last couple of weeks already to see some specimens of it. Nobody over the last quarter century has done more to defeat the genuine intolerant abhorrent extreme far right than me.”
Given his own identification with the Right, boasting that he is an opponent of that polarity calls into question Farage’s motivation behind his condemnation of Restore Britain, which is also identified with the Right.
Naturally, many are viewing this disagreement as more evidence of the ‘fragmentation of the Right,’ when the real ‘fragmentation’ only concerns a single issue: open, uncontrolled illegal immigration and all of the destructive effects it is having on British culture as a “high trust” society built on peaceful cooperation.
Clearly, Lowe’s determination to “not just stop, but reverse” the immigration flow to Britain is the issue that most resonates with the voting public. But beyond that key issue, his vision for Britain appears to be pointed in the right direction.
“In Ayn Rand terms, we’re nearly where John Galt was in Atlas Shrugged, which as you know is one of my favorite books,” said Rupert Lowe during an interview with Carl Benjamin. “But if you talk to most people, they’ve never heard of Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are among the best two books you can read.”
Given Rand’s influence on Lowe, it should not be surprising that his is a vision of Britain as “a nation of people and principles who have an interest and a stake in the country. I don’t want statism. I hate it! I don’t want central planning. I don’t want Fabianism. I want individualism.”
Both in terms of what he does and does not want, it seems that Lowe could be developing a prescription to Restore Britain that is Just Right.
