Scottish nationalists make a big show of stating that their form of nationalism is a type of cosmopolitan nationalism (as ridiculous as that phrase may sound). One which includes the EU, and one which includes England in many ways (currency union, shared monarch).
What English nationalists have made a big show of is the problem of foreigners. Be it infringing on sovereignty or taking jobs, the issue is decidedly one in which England and the English must be independent from others.

That's a distinctly different issue. To describe Westminster as "foreign" is completely erroneous. Unless, of course, you want to hear from a representative of the newly oppressed Kingdom of Savoy.

Scottish nationalism is a civic nationalism - it's about making the country better for everyone in it regardless of background, not by removing or excluding people that aren't indigenous.
And the SNP aren't really that socialists either. In broad terms, they're fairly central.

How do you feel about Scottish nationalism? Do you think Scotland should be beholden to foreign English powers? Or do you think Scotland should be able to pursue the socialist policies of the overwhelmingly elected SNP?
