Mr Farage claims that "something very big" is happening among Generation Z voters, who are flocking to Reform. "The youth thing is really interesting, something very big is happening," he told The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday. According to YouGov, Reform was the third most popular party among voters aged 30 and younger in the election, after only Labour and the Green Party.Mr Farage claims that "something very big" is happening among Generation Z voters, who are flocking to Reform.

A lot of young people like the "I don't give a damn about political correctness" attitude of Nigel Farage. It is natural for young people to rebel against authority, and what they are taught in schools is to be politically correct. So they rebel against it. And masses of older people from Conservative families who were young when Blair lied to get elected in 1997 didn't vote at all, out of decades of disillusionment with both the Cons and New Labour. They're potential voters for reform too.
