A chance to vote for what you want, not just against what you don't
All my life, people have been telling me to vote for the least bad option, because what I actually want to vote for "doesn't stand a chance." The result is that every election, we get saddled with politicians we didn't really want, doing things we don't really like.
In this election, we already see it. Vote Burnham to stop Starmer. Vote Reform to stop Labour. The message is clear - don't vote for what you want. Vote only against what you don't. Just avoid the bad option. Never go for the good option.
The Makerfield by-election is a chance to do something different - to vote for a party you actually support and want to win. That party is Restore Britain.
I've been told by dozens of people over just the last couple of days that they would love Restore to win, but they're going to vote for Reform to stop Labour. If everyone who thought like this voted for Restore, Restore would win. They showed that last week, winning all 10 of their contested council seats by more than double the votes.
Here's what you have to gain. A local candidate in Rebecca Shepherd, campaigning on local issues. Backed by a pro-British party, led by the hardest working MP in parliament. 3 years of solid attention to the things you actually care about in Makerfield, by people who actually care about working-class northern towns like ours.
This is your chance. If you don't have courage now, you'll never find it when it matters.
