Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss told attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Grapevine, Texas that Europe needs a 'Trump-style revolution' to fight back against the 'globalist movement' that has 'captured' institutions like the media, universities, and corporations to push for open borders and transgender ideology, while neglecting the importance of the family.

Why it matters

Truss's comments reflect a growing sentiment among some conservatives that traditional Western values and national sovereignty are under threat from globalist forces. Her call for a 'Trump-style revolution' echoes the populist, anti-establishment rhetoric that propelled Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency.

The details

According to Truss, the conservative party in Britain didn't do enough to stop the globalists who support illegal immigration and transgender ideology, while neglecting the importance of the family. She believes an elite class in Britain and Europe wants to 'destroy Western civilization' through their control of key institutions.

What they’re saying

“'There has been a globalist movement. They captured the institutions, universities, mainstream media, corporate sector, and bureaucracy. They believe in open borders.'”

— Liz Truss, Former British Prime Minister

The takeaway

Truss's comments reflect the growing divide between populist, nationalist conservatives and the perceived 'globalist' establishment, and her call for a 'Trump-style revolution' suggests some on the right see dramatic, disruptive change as the only way to counter what they view as a threat to traditional Western values.
