Because English nationalism is blood and soil nationalism but Scottish nationalism is civic nationalism. Care to explain the difference? Don't say 'look it up' - I'm interested in how *you* interpret it? QUOTE I.e. EngNats hate immigrants but ScotNats are fervently pro-immigrants Even English immigrants?

English nationalism tends to be expressed as English superiority and exceptionalism. The last 2 1/2 years have reinforced that with (mainly English) Quitters sticking to their belief that the EU should offer the UK far more than they offer any other non-members.

Can you demonstrate that English nationalism (in terms of temporary UKIP support rather than knuckle-dragging BNP etc), was anything other than 'civic', rather than 'blood & soil'. Or indeed that there is no 'blood & soil' nationalism amongst SNP voters? Also, I don't think it's legitimate to equate 'former members' with 'non-members', as the latter will never have made any contribution, economic or otherwise, to the EU, whereas our contribution was major. |
