Identity crisis

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom Conservative party has performed poorly in Wales and Scotland, and holds a traditionalist view of the UK, seeing it as an organic nation with shared customs. Critics link the British identity to imperialism, war in Europe and anti-Catholicism. Englishness has been linked to racialist views, but opinion polls show a rangeof national identities. England has developed as a hybrid nation, and has grown through assimilating immigrants during its history.
