Leaped right over the uncanny valley . Very impressive ! <| sep |> Fascism is literally rightwing nationalist authoritarianism . So if that ' s not what they are emulating , then what would you say is ? I must have missed the period where we transitioned into a totalitarian one party state and Theresa May became a dictator . Even the most rabid antiSNP crowd wouldn ' t call them right wing . The SNP definitely have some strong authoritarian , right wing leanings , particularly around law and order and social issues see Offensive Behavior Act , Minimum Pricing , Policing and Named Person ' s . However it ' s a rather classic mistake to associate fascism and particularly Nazism with purely being a right wing ideology . Nationalism works because it combines elements of both right and left wing , I mean I ' m not being funny but they were called the National Socialist German Workers Party for a reason . Typically it tends to follow a model , as you can see with Le Pen in France , of socialist policies . but just for us . I ' ll admit that the SNP are a softer , New Labour equivalent to a traditional nationalist party but that ' s largely down to demographics . Ultimately nationalists hook on to whatever they can and fill their empty vessel of nationalism with whatever ideologies fit the bill . The SNP are a ' broad church ' after all .
