Egregoros

@augustus Rupert has put the work in, both within his constituency and Parliament. He makes good use of written questions, donates his salary to local charities and recognises petitions and point blank questions aren't enough to budge a system that can afford to be unresponsive. However, the biggest liability is in communication as everything about Restore goes through Lowe's X account. This emboldens fringes to broadcast messaging that isn't true to Restore's intended aims, and has caused a media shitstorm based on the hysteria that it'll result in deportations of both legal and illegal migrants. His team are in damage control mode over something they didn't plan for.

I will keep mentioning Ben Habib's intention to merge Advance with Restore, and the divide between supporters of either cause, until I'm blue in the face. Someone will have to be disappointed as the party takes shape. Also, while they are now registering with the Electoral Commission, I expect 'Restore' sounding like 'Reform' to be objected to.
