Reform UK's leader, Nigel Farage, speaking with Fox News Digital at the ARC conference in London, expressed his conviction that a significant political shift, similar to the one witnessed in the U.S. with Donald Trump's re-election, is poised to transform Europe. He voiced strong agreement with recent remarks by Vice President JD Vance, believing Vance's perspective is ahead of its time and resonates with a changing political landscape.

Farage, addressing the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference, characterized this shift as a political revolution. Vance's comments, which sparked international debate, centered on the perceived threat to free speech, a topic Farage believes is paramount. He drew parallels between Vance's current position and his own experiences in the European Parliament a decade ago, recalling facing strong opposition for his views.

Since leaving the European Parliament following the 2016 Brexit referendum, Farage has remained active in British politics. He launched the Brexit Party, later renamed Reform UK, which he claims has seen a surge in popularity and is performing well in national polls. Farage attributes this rise to what he calls the 'Uni-Party,' suggesting a lack of distinction between the ruling Labor Party and the Conservative Party.

Despite having a relatively small representation in parliament, Reform UK achieved second-place finishes in numerous races during the 2024 election. This, according to reports, reflects a growing anti-establishment sentiment across Europe, benefiting both far-right and far-left parties. Farage expressed concerns about societal decline, citing issues such as knife crime, immigration, and the economy, and criticized the current government's handling of these challenges.

He anticipates a difficult economic period for the UK in the coming years but believes a turnaround is possible with the next election. The UK has experienced economic instability since 2023, struggling to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, a factor that likely contributed to the Conservative Party's loss of power after 14 years.
