The SNP are not the same sort of nationalists that we are talking about.
And the hard left are just as likely to be Lexit supporters. Just like you claimed to be.
Well that is changing the goal posts somewhat. Obviously there are different
strands of nationalism, but the SNP are undeniably nationalist.
And yes there will also be hard left Lexit supporters. I was talking about the point that "all racists voted leave". Ken Livingstone voted remain and was expelled from Labour for antisemitism, for example. Its just such a silly tabloidy claim to make and helps nobody.
I don't just claim to be Lexit. I voted Corbyn in both elections, have always voted Labour, am a member of a trade union, pay the political levy on my union membership to the Labour Party, and align with Tony Benn and Dennis Skinners views on the EU.
I would vote remain now though as the Tories are pushing a no deal and seem to have a grip on power. I couldn't in good conscience support leaving on those terms, with an unleashed Tory govt in control.
