🇬🇧 "The Uniparty has nothing to offer me" --Anonymous Zoomer

🔶️ But in reality the appeal of national populism to Zoomers like me owes less to what we’re witnessing on social media and more to what it is actually offering. One of lower taxes, sharp reductions in immigration, stronger borders, unambiguous opposition to woke ideology, and a smaller welfare state, changes that will make us richer and safer.

🔶️ We also see, clearly, many other things the left denies, like the fact that mass legal immigration and concomitant amnesties for illegal immigrants are now a major cause of our country’s housing crisis. We see too that the fiscal burdens imposed by our new low-skill, low-wage, non-western immigration policy are further hollowing out our already weak ‘Deliveroo economy’ and worsening young people’s lives. And we see how, under the current Uniparty regime, any promised social housing, if it is even built, would be almost immediately occupied by immigrants and asylum-seekers before it is made available to young British people like me. Neither left nor right have any serious interest in embedding the principle of national preference in our politics.

🔶️ At the same time, the abolition of the prisons or ‘rehabilitative justice’ combined with continuing high levels of illegal and legal immigration will make safety on Britain’s streets even worse —just look at what’s happened in Democrat-run cities in America. Contrary to the view that it’s mostly pensioners who are scared of ‘broken Britain’, it is routinely young people like me who now bear the brunt of violent crime.

🔶️ While young Zoomer men in this country are the most likely to be the victim of armed robbery, stabbings, and beatings, young Zoomer women are now the most likely to experience street harassment, sexual assault, and menacing glares from newcomers who, to be frank, come from completely different and incompatible cultures. Polling consistently shows young people are more worried about violent crime than older people, who tend to live in rural and suburban areas which have less crime.

🔶️ Personally, I don’t think Nigel Farage and Reform have all the answers to these problems but what they represent, to Zoomers like me, is what many of us now see as a final chance for the under-40s to actually push for, if not demand, something close to the standard of living our parents and grandparents enjoyed. By rejecting Net Zero, by tearing up the expanding welfare state, by stopping millions of mainly low-skilled immigrants from moving to Britain to absorb more of the rapidly shrinking pie, and by actually prioritising British people, they do offer the kind of radical alternative that simply does not exist anywhere else on the political landscape.
