The conservative leader Kemi Badenoch tried to compare her party with Donald Trump’s Maga movement on Monday, and argued that a second stay in the government was necessary to “really know how to fix the problems of a nation”.
In a keynote speech that opens the right-wing alliance for responsible citizenship (ARC) on Monday, she said that both Western civilization and the British conservatives are in “crisis”.
The ARC event for 4,000 delegates in the Excel Center in Ost -London is intended to examine how the western societies restore and renew and what the organizers see as a “stagnating” area of ideas in the anglosproof.
Bathing told the event that the people will ask them the difference between the new leadership under their patronage, which suffered their worst defeat in a general election last year.
“Look at President Trump. He has shown that sometimes you need this first stay in the government to recognize the problems, but it is the second time when you really know how to fix them. And it starts to say the truth, ”she said.
Badenoch referred to the 14-year period of the conservative party, which ended last summer. However, their analogy can raise the eyebrows because the Tories have often been in office, unlike Trump, who has occupied the Oval Office.
She suggested that the British Parliament was “obsessed with Trivia” and that “stagnation despite more and more laws”. This contributes to dissatisfaction with young people towards democracy, she added.
The Tory manager said that she had put the “greatest renewal of politics and ideas in a generation” of her party in a generation and warned that an extension of the failure “would be lost our country and the entire western civilization”.
The ARC conference is “part of finding these answers,” she said, adding, she filled her with “hope”.
The delegates reacted positively to Badenoch’s speech. Molly Banerjei, a broker in Toronto, who heads a campaign for December to explain the Christian Heritage Month in Canada, said it was the first time that she heard the “very refreshing and thoughtful” Tory leader.
“It is good to see someone who might have been born here, but grew up in another country who shares the conservative values that has a vision that is implementing here in this country,” said Banerjei.
The intervention by Badenoch, however, was an angry reaction from other opposition politicians. The deputy chairman of the Liberal Democrat, Daisy Cooper, accused Badenoch, “competing with the (reform of British leaders) Nigel Farage and tickling the“ dangerous rhetoric ”of the US President instead of standing up for the security of Ukraine and Europe.
Badenoch, who framed himself as an advocate of “classic liberal values”, met the left ideology because it “releases” about the legacy of the West and “In Extremis, a hatred of western history and even its culture” promoted a melting pot For “poisoning of heads” with such views.
“A country cannot be successful if its people and his intellectual elite do not believe in it. This means dealing with the poisoning of the mind through university formation, ”she said.
She said the focus of the left on pronouns, climate activism and diversity, justice and inclusion would be used as devices to “control” the populations when the “poison of the left progressivism” lambars.
The Tory leader seemed to defend populism and did not say: “Do not listen to the media classes about populism. The essentials of democracy recognize the will of everyday people – and then actually enable. “
Baden -ch argued that “some cultures are better than others” and added that it was “only controversial to say this because honesty has become impossible”, but refused to name the cultures that she referred to .
It marked the reprisals of a topic with which she previously committed controversy. In autumn she pulled her eyebrows up by claiming that not all cultures were “equally valid” and “youngest immigrants who hate Israel” criticized: “I do not think that those who bring foreign conflicts here should be welcome .. “
Badenoch also praised the top -class British headmaster Katharine Birbalsing for the fact that they have successfully confronted attempts by some religious students to promote the wearing of headscarves and the practice of prayer portrituals in their secular school.
On the first morning of the three -day conference, Christian topics and music of a Christian band were explicitly presented.
Republican spokesman Mike Johnson spoke about the biblical teachings that underpinned the foundation of the United States and the inherent value of every person who “give us God”.
The controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, an ARC co-founder, spoke the crowd about the “Christian drama” and the “victim most comfortable for God”.
The head of the Protestant hedge fund, Sir Paul Marshall, one of the founders of ARC, last week told the FT That “there should be no mixture of faith and politics – it is a dangerous combination”, but insisted that the conference is about ideas that are “upstream of politics” – despite the event with a number of high -ranking British and American politicians.
Farage, Peter Thiel and the American entrepreneur, who has become politician Vivek Ramaswamy, are, among other things, right -wing numbers due to the event.
The third annual ARC conference has more than doubled its personal audience since its foundation. More than 1,000 delegates have traveled from the United States and more than 300 from Australia and New Zealand to take part in the event this week.
Debatta about the economic costs of Net Zero, the value of the family, the falling birth rates, free trade and the disorders caused by technology are among the core issues this year.
