High-profile elections will take place all across the western world this year.
Since these elections will determine the future for billions of people, many pundits are describing 2024 as the most important year for democracy in recent memory.
And Nigel Farage exposed a demographic trend that could dismantle the Left.
Leftists are alarmed as this voting bloc starts to leave their camp
Given their infatuation with social media and goofy trends, Gen Z has become the punchline for nearly every late-night show.
However, left-wing politicians rely on young voters for electoral success, which explains why so many on the Left have prioritized policies like free tuition and student loan forgiveness.
Polls show that more young people than ever have defected from the Left and are not taking the bait that they have set out for them.
In the United Kingdom, a surprising amount of Gen Z voters have signaled their intention to vote for right-leaning political parties like Nigel Farage’s Reform Party.
Earlier this week, Farage sat down with Breitbart News for an exclusive interview where he reviewed this demographic shakeup.
“It’s happening,” Farage told Breitbart. “Gen-Z is very different. Very different to Millennials. I see a lot more ambition, I see a lot more rejection of what they’re being indoctrinated with at school and university.”
“I think the most remarkable part of our campaign in the weeks since I came back to do this, we’ve gone from three per cent in the 18-24 vote to between 15-21 [per cent] depending on which pollster you look at. Either way it’s a very rapid advance,” Farage explained.
On July 4, Britons will head to the polls after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for a snap election in May.
Sunak represents the Conservative Party, which, despite its name, most closely resembles establishment Republicans in the United States.
Year after year, the British Conservative Party has failed to make good on its promises to scale back immigration, not to mention their completely botched implementation of Brexit.
Polls show that the UK’s Labor Party has a significant advantage.
Some polls show Labor could win a majority of a few hundred seats in Parliament by just securing 40% of the vote.
That would spell disaster for the Conservative Party.
However, Farage sees this as an opportunity.
Farage has voiced his desires to lead the opposition, eventually navigating his way to 10 Downing Street.
Nigel Farage has once again thrown a wrench into the status quo of British politics
The British Conservative Party has ruled the UK for 14 years and has very little to show for it.
Rather than settle for ineffective moderates, many Britons have decided to throw their support behind Nigel Farage, who has campaigned on the promises of reducing immigration and reforming taxes.
Nigel Farage’s decision to run for Parliament under the banner of the Reform Party could completely change the future of British politics and put an end to the Conservative Party as we know it.
