Hanson Meets Farage, Predicts Reform Wave Reaching Australia
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson suggested that the populist momentum reshaping British politics might soon extend to Australia after her recent meeting with Reform UK founder Nigel Farage.
Meeting at CPAC and Shared Vision
While attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida, Ms Hanson met with Mr Farage and discussed the rise of Reform UK and its impact on traditional party politics.
“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.”
She emphasized that One Nation shares similar principles, standing up for ordinary citizens who feel neglected by major parties.
“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.”
Surging Polls and Political Momentum
Reform UK currently holds about a 10-point lead over the governing Labour Party, driven by anti-immigration policies and tax cut promises. Reflecting this trend, One Nation has also experienced strong growth, reaching a record 15 percent of the primary vote according to the latest 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 stated.
