The leader of Restore Britain proposed an alliance with Reform UK with the aim of consolidating a common front ahead of the upcoming elections. The proposal includes an agenda focused on immigration, public spending, national identity, and institutional reforms
British leader Rupert Lowe announced a proposed political agreement aimed at the leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, with the goal of unifying the main right-wing forces and presenting a common front against left-wing parties in the upcoming elections.
Among the main points of the proposal is the tightening of immigration policy. Lowe proposed ending illegal immigration and strengthening deportation measures for individuals who remain in the country without legal authorization. He also stated that the United Kingdom must regain greater control over its borders as part of a strategy to reform the immigration system.

Lowe asserted that his party considers it necessary to preserve British cultural identity and defended that the country maintain its tradition as a nation with Christian roots. Additionally, he expressed his opposition to what he described as a rapidly accelerating cultural transformation driven by increased immigration and demographic changes.
Another of the proposed initiatives is to call for a referendum to consult the public on the possible reinstatement of the death penalty. Lowe argued that a matter of such magnitude should be decided directly by voters through a mechanism of direct democracy.
On the economic front, the proposal advocates for increasing the United Kingdom's self-sufficiency, reducing public spending, and limiting the growth of social assistance programs. According to the leader, the goal is to balance public accounts and decrease dependence on the state, promoting an economy based on greater fiscal discipline.
Lowe also proposed that former Conservative MPs whom he holds responsible for the management of previous governments not be part of a potential Executive arising from an alliance between Restore Britain and Reform UK. In his view, a renewal of political leadership is necessary to regain the trust of the electorate.

So far, Nigel Farage has not publicly announced whether he will accept the proposal. Reform UK continues to be one of the main opposition forces in British polls, while various sectors of the right debate the advisability of building alliances to expand their electoral support.
Rupert Lowe's initiative adds to the internal discussions within the conservative space about the best strategy to face the upcoming elections. If successful, an agreement between Restore Britain and Reform UK could alter the British political landscape and redefine the competition among the main parties in the country.
