That is not at all true. The religious right and the anti immigration pro European identity movement both espouse the value of marriage for two seperate reasons. The former for religious reasons. The later due to the belief that modernity has made women sterile and that is the root cause of the demographic issues Europe is experiencing. Southern is part of the later group and I am not criticizing her personally for not getting married alone. She just comes across as fake and the sort of person that is just latching on a cause to get rich and famous.
So they remain 2 separate groups that only superficially share a goal because they don't share an ideology.
As to whether or not she's fake, the vast majority of these conservative speakers are sales people. I don't think they're hypocrites. Someone else said it's hypocritical for conservative women to be sleeping around before marriage. I disagreed on abstaining from pre-marital sex being a prerequisite for general conservative positions. It is a prereq for the religious right's principles. So unless Southern is part of the religious right, there's nothing hypocritical about her having premarital sex or even not being married yet.
For that to apply, the anti-immigration, pro-European identity movement would have to have some timeline for the age by which it's supporters should be engaged in re-population via marriage/child birthing and I haven't seen it such a forced timeline (although that doesn't mean it doesn't exist)
