Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain and Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth, has become the first British politician to endorse the Save Europe Act. This pan-European initiative was launched on 30 May in Porto, Portugal, and calls for an immediate halt to all non-European immigration to protect what its founders describe as Europe’s ethnocultural identity.
Lowe’s endorsement marks a significant moment amid increasing debates on immigration policy across the continent.
Hardline Immigration Stance
The Save Europe Act demands an immediate stop to both legal and illegal non-European immigration. It also calls for stronger border security measures, a complete overhaul of asylum systems, and mass deportations of illegal migrants and failed asylum seekers. The Act claims to defend the collective heritage and national sovereignty of native Europeans.
Support From Right-wing Figures
Rupert Lowe joins prominent far-right European politicians in backing the Act, including Germany’s AfD representative Björn Höcke, Polish Member of the European Parliament Dominik Tarczyński, and Austrian far-right activist Martin Sellner. Together, they reinforce a pan-European front opposing immigration from outside Europe.
The Save Europe Act has gathered nearly 44,000 signatures so far, aiming to reach 100,000 to qualify as an official EU Citizens’ Initiative.
Political Impact in the UK
Since founding Restore Britain in 2025 and registering it as a political party in 2026, Rupert Lowe has advocated for tough immigration policies. His party is positioned to the right of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK and is currently contesting seats such as Makerfield. This has raised concerns about potential splits in the right-wing vote and criticism from moderates worried about alienating voters.
Mixed Reactions Across Europe
Supporters of the Save Europe Act praise it as a firm stance on border control and cultural preservation. However, critics label the Act as far-right and argue it is impractical under existing international human rights laws and asylum regulations. The ultimate influence of the Act will depend on whether it reaches the required signature threshold and whether the European Commission engages with its demands.
