Model and actress Holly Valance says, “Everyone starts as a leftie,” before realizing “how crap” the Left’s ideas are. Valance’s remarks were made at the launch of a new, soft-right group in the UK.
When asked whether her political views had changed over time or if she had always been a conservative, Valance responded by paraphrasing the famous adage often misattributed to Winston Churchill. “I would say that everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point after you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then realize what crap ideas they all are,” she said, before adding: “And then you go to the right.”
In April of 2022, Valance drew criticism from fans for appearing in a photo with former President Donald Trump and Brexit leader Nigel Farage. The Australian actress and her husband, billionaire property developer Nick Candy, had joined the two populist political leaders for dinner at Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Despite fans calling for a boycott of her music on social media, Valance did not back away from her political beliefs — attending the U.K. Conservative Party’s Summer Ball just two months later.
