This is a good point. After their utter humiliation in the GE - 3-4 seats max, I think they may rebrand themselves as exactly that. Ie The English National Party.

They may well, though tbf I've always thought of the Tories as that too. That's basically what the Tories are, the English national party. Though they couch it in terms of unionism.

Was it not Boris Johnson that made a comment steeped in pride that the British had either invaded or colonised 200ish of the worlds countries?

What a c**t :lol:

All of them do it, Gove describes the British empire as 'a benign empire' failing to notice that's actually an oxymoron. Tell that to the 29 million people we starved to death in India, see how benign they think it was.

It was also him who was angry at History teachers recently for not teaching that WWI was a glorious jaunt in the country and was actually hell on earth for those involved.

SNP are clearly not socialists. They might be left centrist, or maybe even right centrist. However, I don't deny they're a nationalist party. In terms of left/right ideology I don't think members/supporters would be too upset if they were to lurch one way or the other, as long as it suits the times. After all, they were called "Tartan Tories" back in the days of old Labour. You only have to look at SSP and Green Policies to realize how moderate SNP are compared to them.

The SNP can definitely be accused of trying to chase the middle class vote as much as many other mainstream parties. The difference is that they're much more competent and do still retain some semblance of social justice. I'm not huge on them but atm there's little more to champion than competent government and independence in the near future.
