Tracey Emin condemns Reform Party for “Neo-Nazi rhetoric”
Tracey Emin has spoken out about her disdain towards the Reform Party, accusing the party of pushing a “neo-Nazi rhetoric”.
The artist’s work, which is predominantly autobiographical, as controversial installations such as a tent with the names of everyone she ever slept with on it, or her unmade bed, are much more of a reflection of herself as opposed to the political world around her.
That being said, in a recent interview with The Guardian, the award-winning artist has made her thoughts on the current political landscape in the UK clear, as she has condemned the ideology of Reform and urged voters to choose a different party.
She said: “If the far right get in in this country, we are doomed. And everybody has to understand the significance of it”.
Adding, “When friends say they’re not voting Labour because of what’s happened in the last two years, I say, ‘Then vote Tory, vote anything, vote Green, but don’t let Reform get in’.”
Turning her attention towards immigration, she added: “The immigration from asylum seekers in this country is minuscule, minor”.
Continuing, “Britain could take care of people wanting to come here, people could be processed and people could be working… Instead, we’ve got a country now that’s bordering on neo-Nazi rhetoric, which I find really abhorrent”.
Emin’s comments come after Reform UK have continued gaining popularity throughout the country, with recent polls indicating that they have an eight-point lead on Labour, and an 11-point lead on the Conservatives.
The next general election in the UK is not scheduled to be held until August 2029.
Far Out has approached Reform UK for comment.
