Sovereigntism
Insists that national institutions, not international bodies, should have the final say.
Associated with: The Brexit campaign, Gaullist skepticism of European integration.
Sovereigntism sits in the right-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: leaning free market and slightly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly nationalist on nation, leaning free market on economy and leaning traditional on culture.
