Strange, nationalists in Europe have a lot of ideas about how to change their various countries.
Only in that they want to move it to a more extreme version of what they already perceive it to be. They are not looking to change it based on any meaningful measure. Nationalists are almost always conservatives.
That’s true.
I was reading a nutter manifesto from the Heritage Party in the UK earlier… It is a hodgepodge of animal rights laws that are a mix of actual animal rights and outlawing Halal and Kosher slaughter, encouraging free markets and nationalising railways and utilities, being free speech and personal freedom but LGBTQ people can’t have families or be spoken about, want to invest in the military and especially navy but also apparently are anti-war and want to cease support for Ukraine.
