Farage has 1.2 million followers<\/a> on TikTok. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Tory Leader Kemi Badenoch aren\u2019t even on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look at Labour and Conservatives, and in my opinion, their values are quite similar now,\u201d argued Hill. \u201cYou can\u2019t ring fence either party\u2019s values, whereas with Reform, I think you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill also believes Reform is offering direct policy support for young women. Pointing to Farage\u2019s recent announcement that he wants to scrap a two-child cap on social security benefits, and bring in tax breaks for married people, Hill said Reform would enable women \u201cto stay at home for longer or to go part-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Safety \u2014 and scrapping DEI\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

O\u2019Geran notes that Gen Z women diverge from the rest of the population on key issues. Only five percent of those polled named immigration as a top concern \u2014 compared to 22 percent among the wider public. Instead, the issues that matter the most to this cohort are the cost of living, jobs, mental health and affordable housing.<\/p>\n

Still, some of Reform\u2019s female politicians want to link immigration to women\u2019s safety.\u00a0\u201cOnce those illegal immigrants are in the community, that\u2019s when women\u2019s safety becomes a real issue,\u201d Sarah Pochin, a new Reform MP for Runcorn and Helsby, said. \u201cThat\u2019s when women feel that they can\u2019t let their children play out on the streets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andrea Jenkyns, newly elected Lincolnshire mayor, similarly told POLITICO that \u201cespecially in coastal areas, young women were saying \u2026 that they feared for their safety, because especially on the coast there\u2019s migrant hotels. I think if we\u2019ve got this strong policy on illegal migration and safety, I think that would appeal to people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farage has 1.2 million followers on TikTok.
