Nationalists
Named political party members
Nationalists are people who strongly identify with and advocate for their nation's interests, culture, or independence.
The term ranges from neutral—describing independence movements or patriotic citizens—to pejorative, suggesting ethnic chauvinism or xenophobia: Irish nationalists, white nationalists.
In political contexts, nationalist parties typically oppose globalization and immigration. (Lowercase nationalist is the adjective form.)
