Separatist political parties

Separatist political parties advocate for a specific group or region to gain independence from a larger political entity, such as a country or state. These parties often arise from ethnic, cultural, or linguistic differences, and they seek greater autonomy or outright independence to better represent the interests and identity of their constituents. Examples include the Scottish National Party in Scotland and the Catalan pro-independence parties in Spain. Separatist movements can be motivated by historical grievances, economic disparities, or a desire for self-governance, leading to debates about national unity versus regional rights.
