Lessons from Gorton & Denton
Gorton & Denton is an electoral constituency in Greater Manchester which has been held by Labour since 1931. Its MP, Andrew Gwynne, resigned in January due to ill health. This triggered a by-election in the febrile climate of a Britain newly-dominated by Greens on the left and Reform UK on the right. The by-election thus stands as something of a bellwether, not so much of the political climate, but of the political realities “on the ground” in today’s multi-ethnic Britain. And the lessons are clear.
Gorton & Denton is a good election to have at this juncture, because it demonstrates the futility of Reform UK’s approach and the efficacy of the Green Party’s approach (identity politics). Nigel Farage has betrayed and condemned his base, Zack Polanski has wholeheartedly embraced his and said everything necessary to please them. Just in the last few days, Farage has warned of White ethno-nationalism while Polanski has advocated giving non-whites universal basic income, the vote, NHS treatment, and a house from the moment they arrive. The difference could not be starker.
Thus the by-election shows what, without Restore Britain, will be the future of this country: the natives progressively betrayed by the political class in favour of ethnic minorities, who will increasingly get what they want, whatever they want.
Between 2011 and 2021, the Muslim contingent in Gorton & Denton grew by a staggering 64% and the “none” (Atheist, likely progressive, ie. Green-voting) contingent by 44%, while the Christian contingent shrank by 21%:
The result is an electoral map that looks like this:
In a sane country, this would be two separate constituencies. In ours, we have to mix together (even while we, demonstrably, want to segregate) so this is just one constituency, which must be fought over by diametrically-opposed ethnic camps - in Denton, white native Brits, and in Gorton, the newcomers. In such a polarised environment where people are aware of the stakes and have the confidence to seize them, there can be no common ground, no “meeting in the middle”, no centrist swindle. Whichever camp is more united will win the entire constituency, and politically dominate the other camp.
In fact, if we look at the overall demographics in the constituency, it is 44% BAME. How long before it is 51%? At that point, no matter how united the native voters are, they will be easily defeatable by the newcomers, forever thereafter. This by-election might actually have been the final chance for Gorton & Denton to get a result decided by native Brits. Unfortunately, half of them didn’t bother to vote, so disgusted are they by the options.)
Into this mix come two newly-prominent parties: Reform UK and the Green Party. They are supplanting the old dichotomy of Conservative/Labour, respectively. One of these parties, the Greens, recognises the reality that all politics is (at least in a multi-ethnic society) identity politics. The other, Reform UK, is desperate to maintain the civic nationalist delusion that we can all unite around principles and ideas. Here is how those attitudes worked out for them:
A very comfortable win for the Greens.
I will now go through the main parties and discuss how I think this by-election bodes for each of them.
The Conservative Party
Demonstrating the redundancy of his party, Daniel Hannan lamented:
Back in 2020, Hannan had the standard Conservative Party line on immigration: it is nothing to worry about because, in modern Western countries, immigrants tend to integrate (!). As examples, he preposterously cited himself, since he happened to be born abroad like George Orwell and Rudyard Kipling, and is therefore comparable with millions of Pakistanis moving to Britain. He also said that, among Western countries, there is especially little cause for concern in Britain because Britain has always had a civil, not ethnic, conception of nationhood. Bear in mind he said this after Harry from TrUK had spent several minutes giving him copious evidence to the contrary, which he chose to completely ignore.
For years, Hannan poured scorn on anyone sounding the alarm bells. But now the consequence is clear to him: balkanisation of Britain. If only smug, arrogant traitors like him had respected the electorate all these decades, instead of scoffing at them, demonising them and colluding in legislation that would silence and punish them, maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation now, and he wouldn’t be having to lament the electoral death of his party.
It is a death that is richly deserved and I can only hope is permanent. However, such is the Conservative Party’s treachery and contempt for its own base, it is currently trying to trick them that it has listened to them and transformed into what they want. This is the gambit involving Reform UK popping up as a hardline anti-immigration party which, rumour has it, is destined to merge back into the Conservative Party, thus granting it new life like a starving Dracula eagerly sinking his fangs into the neck of some fresh young dupe.
Despite its historic failure in this particular constituency, it has to be acknowledged that the Conservative Party might fare better elsewhere. The same is true of the Liberal Democrats.
(As a side-note, I was nauseated by this conservative podcast’s coverage of the by-election. Not once did they mention what it means for native Brits. But they were very concerned about how it might affect Britain’s Jews, the rights of Muslim women, and the Left’s hypocrisy. The woman also said at one point that Muslims are natural conservatives, being family-oriented, faith-oriented and flag-oriented. Then she lambasted “the right” for not doing more to appeal to Muslims. I swear that conservatives are competing to be ever farther behind the curve. The sheer staidness of their thinking, the total lack of moral courage, the abject refusal to fashion a worldview not ratified by their enemy… It is often said that progressives have no self-preservation instinct, but I think conservatives might be even worse. They are like chickens voting for Kaporos.)
The Labour Party
In fact the biggest loser in this election is not the Conservative Party but the Labour Party. Being an urban constituency with a high percentage of ethnic minorities, Gorton & Denton is ideal ground for Labour, and this is bolstered by history: it has been a safe Labour seat for nearly a century and, just eighteen months ago, Labour won over 50% of the vote there. Therefore its defeat by the Green Party is very significant. The Greens got 1.6 times as many votes as Labour, pushing it to a shocking third place.
It is possible that Labour, after kowtowing to Muslims for many years, even to the point of letting them rape our young girls, assumed it could count on the Muslim vote. Maybe this is why one Labour politician took the lesson that they need to be even more accommodating to migrants and even less sympathetic to concerns about immigration.
If this constituency is prime Labour territory (regarded as the sixth-safest Labour seat in the country), yet Labour came third, I think we can safely assume that they will fare even worse in constituencies that are less favourable. Whether due to supplanting by the Green Party, or rising White self-awareness driving people to Reform and Restore, I think the Labour Party is becoming, if not extinct, much less of an electoral force.
The Green Party
The relentlessly grotesque Zack Polanski seems to be working like clockwork at manipulating young, idealistic and female voters. He is a sort of Pied Piper, leading them to their doom with jollity and promises that seem almost deliberately outlandish. He has talked about legalising all drugs and making them available on the NHS. He has talked about UBI for every migrant upon arrival. He has talked about creating a borderless world. Whatever some tedious blue-haired imbecilette on a Post-Colonial Studies degree would dream up, Polanski has already thought of it.
As an ugly gay Jew, he must seem to young women like a harmless but deformed teddy-bear: they want to protect him from all the bullies who have it in for him. I saw the same syndrome with Obama and Trudeau, but with Polanski it is much more pronounced given his various attributes.
On the other hand, alongside the crazy leftism, he also acknowledges some realities and appears to sympathise with the young voter of today who hasn’t a hope of getting on the property ladder or saving any money after paying the exorbitant rents and bills of modern Britain. (I would urge Restore Britain to examine this aspect of his appeal.)
With all that said, this by-election is the first proper test of the Polanski-era Greens. The party has long enjoyed strongholds in Brighton and Bristol, and in 2024 gained seats in Waveney Valley and North Herefordshire. But those are all affluent areas. It was a real gamble for the Greens to attempt their wishy-washy New Left message in a place like Gorton & Denton.
But, as we can see, it paid off. The party will now be greatly energised, basking in victory and already planning how to capitalise.
I think their victory happened for two main reasons: the sheer unpopularity of the Labour Party, and the rising self-determination (due to demographic predominance in certain areas) of Britain’s Muslims. They don’t yet have a viable party of their own (despite George Galloway’s best efforts) but for now, the Green Party will suffice. It promises them more, seems to worship them even more, than Labour did. The Green put out their campaign literature in Urdu and Bangla, demonstrating that this is their client group and they are its “bitch”.
I can’t help suspecting this is all being orchestrated from above. Shortly before the election, Polanski mocked native Brits concerned about demographic replacement. It feels to me as if he has been told by higher powers to be this cocky, this insulting to the British people, and he is delighting in doing so, knowing that he will get away with it. The whole thing feels manufactured.
But we shouldn’t discount the gentile element within the Green Party, the moralistic types who are obsessed with equality and in love with foreignness. There are countless British people like that today, including male ones, and the Green Party is welcoming them more explicitly than even New Labour used to. New Labour at least pretended to be a pragmatic party, not ideological. The Polanski-era Green Party is joyfully ideological. For the rest of us, woke might have been a terrible time, a bad joke and a total practical failure, but for its adherents, it was a glimpse of a wonderful future that they are now determined to bring forth.
The Green Party has long been a hugely (and laughably) White organisation, but clearly, it is now co-opting the ethnic vote. And after all, why should Labour have all the benefit of our dusky friends’ support, when the Green Party loves them even more?
It all flows together. The Green Party supplants Labour. Wokery becomes unapologetic, unremarkable, default. White identitarianism rises, making BAME voters even more paranoid (yet also even more triumphalist) than before. The Green Party courts their vote.
Interestingly, at least some Green Party supporters seem to be aware of the game they are playing, namely that demographics is destiny. One of them used ethnic data along with opinion polling to construct a map of likely voting in this by-election. He stressed that his map should be taken with a pinch of salt, but such a project would be completely pointless if ethnicity were not a strong indicator of political behaviour - which of course it is, as demonstrated by the fact that his map turned out to be very prescient. Of course he is only one man, but his project seemed to be welcomed without surprise by his Green colleagues. I think it is significant, in a party that will claim the Great Replacement is nothing to worry about, that some of them know full well that it has direct political implications, because people vote along ethnic lines.
As a result of its brown-nosing, people have speculated whether the Green Party will eventually be taken over by BAME. I doubt the regime will allow this. I think it needs the Green Party as an attractor for the “crazed white woman” vote. Muslims will just create some new party of their own eventually, and then the white Green voters will be in the position Reform voters are currently in (“we sucked up to these people, yet they hate us”).
In the meantime, the rest of us have to watch these useful idiots gleefully doing their damnedest to ruin the country and set up oblivion for all of us. I don’t think there is much point trying to get through to them, especially the young women, for whom politics now seems to be a sort of gender war by proxy.
Reform UK
Reform, the uber civic nationalist party, have come up against the hardened limits of their creed. Once identity groups are mobilised, the centre has no appeal. And, in today’s Britain, identity groups are very decisively mobilised, and that isn’t going to change any time soon - if ever.
It is pointless and even self-abasing for Reform to complain about this problem, because they have committed to never solving it.
Moreover, they spent a lot of the campaign insulting their own base, so confident were they that their principles have universal appeal so there is no need for low-down “identity politics”.
Their candidate, the ridiculous Matt Goodwin, even gave an interview in which he criticised Restore Britain supporters and implied they are less patriotic than the Sikhs who helped him on the campaign trail:
According to polling, this cuckoldry won him 8% of the BAME vote:
One of Reform’s figures, Andrew Rosindell, when asked about demographic replacement of the native British, devolved into mumbling about principles at the expense of client groups. He hasn’t realised this is no longer the game and that approach has stopped working. (Actually, it never worked; it only got us to where we are now.)
Nigel Farage claimed the Greens won the by-election by cheating. Both he and Goodwin railed against sectarianism.
Last month, Reform MP Danny Kruger said that anyone born in Britain is an heir to the civilisation of this country. He made a Freudian slip, though, when he specified “newborn Afghans”. Aren’t they Brits, if they’re born here? But of course we all understand what he meant to say: the children of Afghans, if they’re born here, are as British as anyone else. Well, perhaps Reform will look at the Gorton & Denton result and realise how insane that notion is.
However, the signs are not good:
Reform chairman David Bull, in the hours after the election result, seemed not to realise that the defeat was a call to rethink their civic nationalism. Instead, he doubled down on it, disowning some remarks Matt Goodwin had made about identity and distancing Reform from them.
Goodwin himself tweeted that Britain “must reject sectarianism”. It is an impotent request that will be ignored by all BAME groups who have learned, yet again, that acting in their self-interest benefits them. How this could be a surprise to anyone, and how Goodwin can’t see it after what has happened, and how he can’t see that it would be in native Britons’ interests to adopt the same attitude, boggles the mind.
Nigel Farage might now be recalling his own statement from last year, that if you lose the Muslim vote, you will lose elections. He might well see Gorton & Denton as proof of that. Like Labour, he might conclude that his party lost because it didn’t court the Muslims hard enough.
On the face of it, backtracking on all of this and embracing nativism would be pure common sense for Reform. But I suspect they are going to do the opposite. This leaves the field wide open for the genuine insurgent party…
Restore Britain
Restore didn’t have a candidate in this by-election since the party was only announced a fortnight before. However, it can certainly draw some lessons from the event.
It clarifies that Restore’s only rival is Reform UK. It is not only soaking up the right-wing vote (making the Conservative Party irrelevant) but also the general White vote (see the racial graph earlier). Restore should relentlessly attack and undermine Reform. I doubt there is much to be gained for it in attacking the other parties. Lefties, especially leftie women, will vote for them no matter what. One left-wing woman celebrated:
How ironic to say this, when the winning party relied for its victory on the racism of ethnic minorities!
Another lesson Restore should take is that, contra received wisdom among right-wing parties, brown and black people are emphatically not “natural conservatives”. Any attempt to appeal to them on those grounds will fail dismally while repelling Restore’s natural base, native Brits.
The third lesson is that “pandering” to an identity group works well for you. Matt Goodwin says it’s a road to defeat, but he is delusional. The Greens did it and beat him soundly. Before that, Labour did it for decades and secured numerous strongholds around the country. In 2026, with the Great Replacement well underway and the Boriswave having done its damage, the atmosphere in Britain is so febrile that it is utterly foolish for a party not to target particular groups in its campaigning. It is really a road to failure to do anything else.
Does this mean that the country will devolve into a set of competing groups, with little to bind them together, fighting over limited resources? Yes. But that has been the situation since June 1948 when the Empire Windrush arrived - native Brits just haven’t realised the fact. To continue refusing to recognise it is not to “win the day with principles”; it is to let native Brits be eaten alive by foreigners. That is what civic nationalism leads to, and that is why civic nationalism must be abandoned.
From Restore’s point of view, there is one identity group that is steadfastly ignored by every other party, and even actively disparaged by them. That group desperately needs representation - explicit, unashamed representation - and the party that has the courage to do this will be assured success. This is an open goal just waiting to be taken. Yes, the media will castigate you for it, but the British people will reward you.
I think there are two dead-end discussions which will be made of this by-election.
There is a lot of sound and fury about electoral fraud (euphemistically termed “family voting”) by Muslims. This is where a Muslim woman is told how to vote by her husband, or he even does the voting for her. Sky reporter Sam Coates claimed to have witnessed this, and it was reported by a democracy watchdog but denied by police and doubted by uber-progressive Owen Jones. (Of course, how ludicrous to think that clannish people might behave clannishly!)
Whining about this kind of thing, decades after letting these people into our country en masse, is futile. The Muslims don’t feel guilty about doing it and never will. Their enablers don’t care, in fact they think it’s funny. Once again, conservatives need to wake up and realise that their decency has been used against them for 100 years.
Furthermore, the truth is we have no idea how much of this “family voting” went on. But also… it doesn’t matter. Who seriously thinks that Muslim women need to be forced by their husbands to vote for the most pro-Muslim party? And without that, these Muslim women would be voting for… Reform? The Conservative Party? Laughable.
In addition, even if they are coerced by their husbands, I for one don’t care. Are we seriously meant to worry about the rights and dignity of Muslim women, when by their very presence in our country they are colluding to take it - our only homeland - away from us?
With that in mind, infinitely more important (from our point of view) than “family voting” is the broader phenomenon of ethnic bloc voting. There is no question that this is happening. It was mentioned briefly by conservatives in their coverage of the by-election. The claim was made that ethnic bloc voting undermines democracy. Technically it doesn’t, if by “democracy” you mean “people vote for what they want”. What it undermines is the British people’s ownership of their homeland. That is never said, because milquetoast conservatives refuse to acknowledge such ownership. (Often they even refuse to acknowledge the existence of the British people.)
The second dead-end discussion is that this is all about religion (ie. Islam), not race. This is the go-to argument for civic nationalists, because it enables them to “not be racist” while complaining about the problems of diversity. Unfortunately, I think the problems of diversity occur precisely because racial difference is baked in, genetic.
I have long said that Islam isn’t a race but might as well be. Barring a few exceptions, it is “a brown religion”, most of its adherents being of that hue. Moreover, from our point-of-view as Europeans, Muslims present as a racial group. They arrive in our countries together, and they socialise, live and work together - a big brown mass that frowns and scowls at us whenever we encounter it. Are there White Muslims, black ones, yellow ones? Yes, but then they are racially despised by the brown ones, and are in any case not numerous enough in Britain to matter. Then we must consider the chicken-and-egg process of a religion that is largely shaped by an ethnic group, which is subsequently shaped by its religion, and on and on.
In addition is the simple fact that race and ethnicity go hand in hand with religion; the two are virtually inseparable, especially for non-European peoples who don’t tend to have much time for abstractions or individualism. Presented with a foreigner, we cannot separate his race from his religion, because they are profoundly intertwined. This is why it is impossible for us to determine whether, for example, Pakistanis rape English girls because of their genes, their culture or their Islamic faith. Some will insist it is the latter, claiming that rape jihad is justified in the Hadiths, but what if it weren’t justified in the Hadiths? Do we seriously believe that, in that scenario, these men would not be doing this? The same could be said for taqiyya, halal slaughter… and ethnic bloc voting.
Yes, you can blame these things on religion, but that is futile and might in the first place be wrong-headed, and in any case, how are we to know? And what is the point of us trying to know, when, if it did turn out to be due to religion, these people would never relinquish or reform their religion anyway?
Ultimately, the only solution is for us to separate from them and their problems, which we can’t help them with and shouldn’t presume to be able to, or that they would be amenable to it even if we could. Because we don’t even know that! After all these decades, the stranger within our gate remains a stranger.
And he always will remain a stranger, as long as we remain sufficiently ourselves to see him as such.
Hmmmm reads a bit AI-ish. Hopefully not.
A lot of good points made but as usual we are all just talking in circles which of course suits those doing this to us to an absolute "T". The proverbial doo doo is going to have to hit the fan before anything really changes.
As I've said before I think Restore Britain is worth a punt but those in power are determined that we have a civil war so they can clamp down on all sides and I can't see it being avoided. They need damaged buildings and infrastructure so they can enslave the people that are left via their bank loans etc to "Build Back Better" just as they did after WW2. That of course assumes they can keep control of it all as it unravels and I also doubt they are going to be able to do that.
When even the printed money runs out and there is no gas and electricity then hardy genes come to the fore as this is not South Africa where the country can collapse and no-one freezes to death or starves though South Africa is well on the way to starving and poor whites there have been starved on purpose by the ANC for at least a decade now as they are not seen as worthy of having any taxpayer funds spent on them.
I think where politics fails, largely due to misplaced "caring" by women voters spending other people's taxes it must be said, the weather in the UK is probably going to succeed. If I had a choice of being poor in the freezing, wet, dull, windy UK or being poor in lovely warm India or Pakistan etc etc etc then guess where I'm going to head off to if I or my parents come from those places.
You know it is bad when our last hope of avoiding the rivers of blood planned for us by "our betters" may well be total financial collapse and the God awful British weather.
💯 and well said. the balkanisation and destruction of the D-UK and it's native population is proceeding ahead as intended.
Regrettably, I no longer believe that there is an exclusively political solution to our ills.
The non-natives are fully aware of this and in certain instances are preparing for such.
The natives have been gaslit and coerced for many decades and in the main have become demoralised, apathetic, and disinterested. We have become turkeys celebrating Christmas. As for a mass populist political movement/s. I don't think that for various reasons, including those mentioned above, that there will be a majority population concensus acheived by the natives, at least. Not until after the dust has settled and the war has been long won, or lost. Just look at the American War of Independence as an example of such. There probably won't even be a plurality achieved before then either.
I think that what is needed, is the formation of a small active, highly capable, well organised, funded, and genuinely patriotic dedicated elite. This elite will needs to attract a sufficiently sized cadre of others to themselves, along with funding, training and provisioning, in order to offer a credible alternative and deterrent to other hostile groups and ideologies. All of which takes time, capital and resources, which are all in short supply.
I think that it's an uphill and long-slog ahead of us, but not insurmountable, their will be no quick or easy fixes, for what has been inflicted upon us by quislings, traitors, Oikophobes, Xenophiles and invaders. But with determination, grit, effort and a lot of suffering and sacrifices, and God's help, we may just get there in time. though many alive today probably won't see that future. I think that it is a multi-generational undertaking, akin to the Reconquista in Spain.
May God bless, guide and protect you and all of us. Deus Vult 🙏 ✝️ 🏴 🇬🇧 🏴 🏴 🇮🇪
