0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Political Party. This episode features Naomi Smith, Chief Operating
0:18.0	Officer of Best for Britain, co-host of the Remain the Acts podcast and what a time to
0:22.0	be talking to Naomi the day before the March in Central London. So depending on when you
0:27.5	listen to this I should say this episode was recorded on Friday the 22nd of March 2019 and on Saturday
0:33.2	the 23rd of March there's going to be a big march in London. How many people are going to be there
0:37.8	who knows if you'll listen to this afterwards of course you'll know the answer. So well done you.
0:42.0	But Naomi is someone I've wanted to have on for a very long time and he's absolutely brilliant. I
0:46.8	met her at the People's Vote Rally in the Docklands a few months ago and I've been desperate to get

1:25.2	in here but also about what Best for Britain does specifically and about the different remain
1:29.5	campaigns and why they're different and how they're different and the importance of that and what
1:34.0	the organisation does is really interesting beyond just a remain leave conversation because you
1:39.7	don't want to have you don't want to repeat we'll kind of know where we stand now on leave or remain.
1:43.8	People are changing their minds of course on what they think of the deal but it is interesting to
1:48.4	talk about the politics of the politics if you like about why people are doing things in different
1:52.8	ways and actually then whether your leave or remain it's just interesting to get that insight
1:56.8	into how campaigns work and Naomi herself is such a positive person that it's impossible not to feel
