Hanson Meets Farage and Predicts Reform UK Movement Reaching Australia
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has indicated that the populist wave shaking the UK might soon spread to Australia after her meeting with Reform UK founder Nigel Farage.
Meeting at CPAC Conference
Ms. Hanson attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida, where she met with Mr. Farage.
“It was great to catch up with my friend Nigel Farage, a true champion for Britain, at CPAC,” Ms. Hanson said on Sunday.
“Reform UK is reshaping the political landscape by standing firm, speaking plainly, and putting their country first. That same movement is building here in Australia. Like Reform, One Nation is surging because we say what the major parties won’t.
We speak for the millions who are sick of being ignored, sold out, and betrayed by a political class that’s completely lost touch.”
Rise of Reform UK and One Nation
- Reform UK leads by about 10 points in polls over the Labour Party, driven by anti-immigration stances and tax cut promises.
- One Nation has also surged, capturing a record 15% of the primary vote in recent polling.
“Reform is proving something the establishment fears, the old two-party stitch-up can be defeated. And when it crumbles, it crumbles fast,” Ms. Hanson added.
Both movements reflect growing public dissatisfaction with traditional political parties, signaling a shift in voter sentiments in their respective countries.
Summary: Pauline Hanson highlights the growing influence of populist politics, noting Reform UK’s success may soon inspire similar political changes in Australia.
