nationalist parties
Country-first political groups
Nationalist parties are political parties whose central ideology emphasizes the interests, culture, or sovereignty of a particular nation or ethnic group.
They typically advocate for policies that prioritize national identity over internationalism: stricter immigration controls, protectionist trade policies, or independence movements for stateless nations.
The term spans a wide spectrum—from Scottish nationalists seeking independence to far-right parties promoting ethnic nationalism.
Nationalist parties have gained ground across Europe in recent elections.
