They've been grooming out the idea of "New Nationalism" for many years now, they just haven't been able to make it stick, because there's too much genuine Nationalism in the way.
This is why I've called it "Supra-Nationalism" before. It's not really "Globalism" because they aren't actually trying to adopt any truly global nationhood. They are just attempting to apply Neo-Liberal value sets into a multi-state demographic. This is why anti-Brexiteers were calling themselves "Europeans" as if European was a nation.
It's a nationalist mindset but they can't call it that because nationalism is bad.
