@libbycwatson@SaraMorrison Wasn't founded exclusively on English nationalism but that was a central current running through the party. -
@libbycwatson@SaraMorrison I think it's fair to say that UKIP's domestic purview was limited to England until very recently.

@libbycwatson@SaraMorrison I'm not really shocked by it, just noting it as an interesting development. -
@mtracey@libbycwatson I always thought UKIP was about getting out of EU and not letting Europe tell UK what to do. UK includes Wales. - 2 more replies

@SaraMorrison Yeah but the party was founded on English nationalism and was almost universally perceived as such until very recently. - 2 more replies

@mtracey Nonsense. UKIP don't think we are superior. We believe in learning from other countries. -
@ThomasEvansUKIP I agree that UKIP is not a strictly nationalist party, but it clearly draws on nationalist sentiments. - 3 more replies

@mtracey@britainelects Believing those who make the laws should be elected democratically is now "nationalism". Amazing. -
@Thomas16Wes
@britainelects I never claimed that. UKIP is a party that draws largely, but not exclusively, on nationalist sentiment.
