00:00I think Kemi Birnok is refreshing, she's bold, she's strong, she's optimistic, but she speaks
00:06her mind, and people like that.
00:09So I, you know, and look what she's done in terms of speaking up for women, women's rights,
00:15single sex spaces, what she's done in terms of transgender issues, she's been willing
00:19to talk about those issues.
00:21She's brave to do that, and I think people welcome that, wherever you are on the political
00:26spectrum I think people welcome that.
00:28So I don't think Kemi just appeals to one part of the population, much as it's important
00:33to bring people back to vote Conservative who've gone to the right of us, or haven't
00:37voted, I think she also speaks to people who've gone off maybe to support Lib Dems and Labour.
00:42But that's up to them of course.
00:44Do I think Kemi can win the race?
00:45Yes I do.
00:46Do I think she can win, she can help our party win the next election?
00:49If I didn't think that I wouldn't be supporting her.
