Party chairperson emphasizes initiative to re-establish moral values among the youth
Firing Up Young Brits!
Zia Yusuf, the head honcho of Reform UK, believes the solution to revamp the nation's younger generation is a solid dose of national pride. After scoring big in the local elections, Yusuf asserted that young people have been brainwashed to dislike their own country and Reform UK's mission is to flip their beliefs on their heads.
Speaking to Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Yusuf explained, "We need to inject some bloody pride in the United Kingdom! And right now, there's this lousy demoralization campaign happening for young people."
"One in five 18 to 25-year-olds now back Reform because they're tired of this bullsh*t," he added.
Yusuf highlighted the competitive world we live in, suggesting other nations don't encourage their youngsters to despise their homeland. "Reform is a fucking patriotic party, and we think it's crucial kids at least aren't brainwashed to hate their country," he said.
He insisted young people should be educated about Britain’s tremendous contributions to the world instead of the current state of constant criticism. "For instance, how many youngsters now know who the hell Isambard Kingdom Brunel is? Look at the character assassination that's occurred on the legacy of Sir Winston Churchill," he said to The Sunday Times.
Yusuf feels that Reform party leader Nigel Farage's message resonates strongly with younger generations. "I think a lot of youngsters feel hands-tied by those damn finger-wagging teachers. They feel restricted, they feel a major lack of opportunities," he said. "Get ready to hear a whole lot more from us over the coming years, focusing on Gen Z and millennials."
While Farage has been busy analyzing the impact his party is having on the Conservatives, he shared his thoughts in his Telegraph column, stating that the Conservative Party "is experiencing a strange death" due to Reform's rise. Farage reiterated earlier assertions that two-party politics is dead and we've entered a "new political age."
Full Steam Ahead with Reform UK
Reform UK's right-wingPopulist, nationalist stance involves reviving traditional values and battling against progressive "woke ideologies." Party initiatives include blocking "woke ideologies in the classroom," prioritizing British workers, taking a tough stance on immigration, and leaving the European Convention on Human Rights.
The party aims to renew British culture and morality by critiquing wasteful state institutions, cutting "woke" cultural influences, and restoring British industries like British Steel. In essence, Reform UK is all about flipping the script and restoring British pride by reversing perceived cultural and moral decline.
"Zia Yusuf, the Reform UK leader, accuses youth in Britain of being brainwashed to dislike their own country, and advocates for a change in policy-and-legislation to instill national pride, as part of the party's populist and nationalist stance aimed at reversing perceived cultural and moral decline."
"In his Telegraph column, Nigel Farage, the Reform UK party leader, expresses optimism about the impact of his party on Britain's politics, stating that their rise could mark the end of two-party politics and the beginning of a new political age, focusing on issues of general-news importance such as reviving traditional values and challenging progressive ideologies."
