Westminster's ethnonationalism blindspot

British political elites publicly denounce 'ethnonationalism' while lacking a clear definition or strategic response, which lets ethnonationalist frames (about immigration, culture, belonging) re-enter mainstream debate under the cover of 'patriotism.' The mismatch between academic concepts (Connor) and political language produces policy confusion and misfires in party strategy. — If true, this explains why immigration and identity grievances persist and can radicalize or rebrand across parties, affecting elections, policy design, and civic cohesion.
