00:00Great. So, hi Joseph, how are we feeling on tonight's vote count night?
00:05Oh, expecting the best, of course, as one might imagine.
00:09And remember, every vote for Rejoin EU sends a message to Peter Stormer
00:14for whom congratulations on his tremendous victory.
00:17So you're standing for Rejoin EU.
00:19Yes.
00:20What are the kind of main aims of Rejoin EU, if you could just cancel it in a sentence or two?
00:26Number one, to put pressure on the Labour Party to negotiate with the European Union
00:31and number two, to have a referendum on our position.
00:35Is there any kind of specific Preston kind of policies that come with your manifesto?
00:41Well, Preston and the North of England in general has been an area that's been tremendously underfunded
00:47both from the Westminster government and previously.
00:50What we want to do is to make the North of England an area of special interest to the European Union
00:55and therefore entitled to special European funding.
00:58And what's your plan of getting the attention of Peter Stormer?
01:04Do you think that will be a possibility, even no matter how many votes you get?
01:08Do you think he will listen?
01:10I think he's more likely to listen more the more votes we get.
01:14Of course, of course.
