One of the signs that Restore is set to be a terminal delusion is its thoroughgoing transformation into a self-esteem movement. Every single devastating result—yet another leftist victory by the tiniest of margins, even when the combined right has a thumping majority—becomes an opportunity to assert triumphantly, “You [Reform] aren’t entitled to our vote.” We reject your presumption! We are very dignified! If you don’t woo me correctly in every single way, well the country can burn! I am not a cheap mistress! The instant resort to the language of self-esteem and personal dignity is very telling. There’s a great line in Bronze Age Mindset about the constant desire for respect being the refrain of the perennially slighted. It’s true. I certainly don’t believe any party is “entitled” to anybody’s vote. There isn’t a perfect option and there’s never going to be. In fact, the problems facing Britain—and the rest of the Western world—are only partially amenable to political solutions. The immediate issue facing us is demographic change and whether Britain can survive another decade of left-wing government. It obviously can’t. If you think otherwise, your eyes are shut. Talk of an inevitable uprising is loose at best. You say you want to save the country, but then you vote and encourage others to vote in a way that makes the prospect of a left-wing victory in a general election all-but assured. That’s your revealed preference. Pointing that out is not an affront to your dignity.
