Funny thing:

When I read 'Scottish National Party', I immediately thought 'Wow, even right wingers hate Trump'.

Turns out that party is left-wing.

Makes sense for Scotland though, since many Scots want to have their independence.

They're centrists, in theory. But considering our 'Labour' party behave like moderate right-wingers, and the Tories are attempting beat Reform for the title of 'most unhinged right-wingers', then they come off as very left in comparison.

A tale as old as time. At least your centrists have at least an ounce of bravery.

Yep, international politics gets wacky pretty quickly. Similar situation with the word "republican" (small R) like in Ireland.
