Eight percent of Britons would vote for Restore Britain if elections were held today, according to a recent poll by the polling institute Find out now.

Restore Britain was launched last year as a grassroots movement and was officially registered as a party only in the middle of February this year. The party is led by the former Conservative politician and farmer Rupert Lowe from Norfolk in eastern England.

Lowe was elected to the European Parliament in 2019 as a representative for the Brexit Party, now known as Reform UK. He was expelled from the Nigel Farage-led party last summer after criticizing the party leadership, and then started his own, more radical, political movement.

“Don’t care”

Like many other similar parties, Restore Britain promises to deport “millions” of migrants back to their home countries. Rupert Lowe has presented what he describes as a detailed plan to deport 1.8 million illegal migrants in two years and five months.

He says it does not matter if those being deported have fled war, are economically disadvantaged, are women, or are children. Taking care of people from other countries is simply not the responsibility of the British, he says.

“It’s not our responsibility to provide housing, food, and take care of Somali families, Albanian families, Pakistani families — it’s simply not,” he says among other things.

Instead, Lowe wants to prioritize the British people. He describes Restore Britain as “a political party that puts British families and British children first, every time.”

Rupert Lowe’s standard response to those accusing him of being racist is: “don’t care.” He says he doesn’t care what “the establishment thinks of me” or what consequences his positions may have for him personally.

Eight percent support

Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain are now polling at eight percent in a recent survey conducted by the polling institute Find out now. It should be noted that the poll, conducted on March 25, was commissioned by Restore Britain.

The polling institute usually only allows respondents to choose between parties already represented in parliament, as well as the “Other” category. In this commissioned poll, they were also able to pick Rupert Lowe’s party.

This is not the first time the new party’s voter support has been measured. In two previous Find out now polls conducted in February and March, Restore Britain achieved seven percent of voter support.

Leading the polls, however, is Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, which in some polls since New Year has been getting over 30 percent of the vote.
