So the reason I'm asking you about the numbers particularly is, uh, a friend of mine went to, um, all the party political conferences last year for, for reasons of him working for a lobbying company, so he needed to.

And he said one of the things that characterized the kind of, it was particularly the Reform Conference and the Conservative Conference, is that there were a dozen people on the stage at each one and 1,000 people in the room at each one.

And the dozen people on the stage absolutely did not want to merge those two parties.

But the 1,000 people in the room absolutely wanted to merge those two parties.

And I mean, is, is that the, in your opinion, 'cause your, the great thing about being a Restorer is you, you know, whatever your fortunes are in the next election, you're kind of outside those two looking in.

Um, our, our stance is very much we want to be our own en- entity, and we don't wanna partner up with anyone.

And, and we are who we are and who we say we are, and we'll deliver on what we say we're gonna, as, as we've proven with this farming motion.

But in the end, I mean, if it came to the difference between power and not power, surely you would say, "Right, not partnering with the greens necessarily."

But let us say you, you might c- you might, uh, put it to your national executive that it wouldn't be a totally stupid idea.

Well, I, I did have this conversation with a gentleman about an hour ago actually, and I, and I said to him, "The problem is that the, the Tories have done various things over the last years and it's a case of trust.

Do people trust the Conservatives?" And so if we were near power, but we needed that extra bolster of numbers and the Conservatives came in, Kemi's not doing a bad job.
