More info here, there's a very real chance his party Restore Britain will beat Farage in his own seat in an upcoming by-election.

Massive things happening in UK politics right here. Farage resigned after a financial scandal. He's trying to get ahead of things by voluntarily resigning and running again in a by-election. So that way he can spin the situation in his favour and move the attention away from the scandal. Rupert Lowe is saying nah we're not helping you rehabilitate your image like that. We're gonna wait for you to get kicked out then we're gonna run against you. Other parties are doing the same thing: refusing to run against him in the by-election he's set in motion himself so he has to run again after being forced out of his seat, making him a disgraced former politician. This is pivotal. If Farage loses his seat as an MP, he cannot be leader of Reform anymore. Reform will be dead without Farage just like UKIP. This leaves Restore Britain as the only viable right wing party in the UK at a time when the country is moving to the right in a big way. So come the next election, there will be no vote splitting on the right. This boosts the chances of Rupert Lowe becoming the next PM significantly. Rupert Lowe is hugely in favour of Austrian economics and is a supporter of Javier Milei. He frequently quotes Hayek and is a self-proclaimed libertarian. image

I dont believe any politician anymore. They give good lip service but at the end of the day nothing changes and then business as usual for them. They all are beholden to their donors. Never what rot is already entrenched in the system that is impossible to fight. The system is designed this way.
I'm usually in agreement with you, especially when it comes to obvious con men like Farage, but it's worth looking into Rupert Lowe a bit. He's not a career politician and his actions show he's willing to have a backbone even when he gets enormous pushback from the mainstream. He even donates his MP salary to a different local charity in his constituency every month. I honestly think he's in it because he believes what he says. Time will tell if I'm correct or if I'm in being naive, but he's the best chance we have by far.
