Nationalism is not part of the political spectrum. You can easily have right and leftist Nationalists.
They're separatists because of the belief of a strong Scottish identity. That is basically the definition of Nationalism.

- kagamine 11y agoThe SNP are very much pro multiculturalism, the 'nationalist' agenda in Scotland is about the long and complex history with England/Westminster, not the rest of the world. It is about self-determination and it is difficult to get a handle on from abroad as the media fails in it's attempts to understand what the Scottish referendum is really about (as did many Yes voters). This could have something to do with almost all of the Scotland's media being controlled from south of the border, which emphasizes the point really.
