Hanson Meets Farage, Predicts Reform UK Movement Will Reach Australia

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has indicated that the populist wave currently reshaping UK politics may soon influence Australia. This follows her meeting with Reform UK founder Nigel Farage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida.

“It was great to catch up with my friend Nigel Farage, a true champion for Britain, at CPAC,” Hanson said on Sunday.

Hanson praised Reform UK for their clear stance and strong national focus as they challenge the political status quo.

“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.”

Reform UK currently holds about a 10-point lead over the Labour Party in polls, driven by anti-immigration policies and promises of tax cuts. Similarly, One Nation has experienced a significant rise in support, reaching 15% of the primary vote in the latest polls.

“Reform is proving something the establishment fears, the old two-party stitch-up can be defeated. And when it crumbles, it crumbles fast,” Hanson added.

This suggests a growing trend for populist movements to challenge traditional party systems both in the UK and Australia.

Author’s summary: Pauline Hanson signals that the populist momentum led by Reform UK in Britain is expanding to Australia, reflected in growing support for her One Nation party.
