It's a technical point but a majority is >50%. I've not seen any measures that suggest that more than 50% of Catalonions wish to remain a part of Spain but I may have missed it?
Only because we allowed her to. Had Spain allowed Catalonia to have their referendum properly then maybe they would have had a similar result?
And you can't have a small majority. The referendum, although flawed, pointed only in one direction.
The heat just went up a notch.
"Spain's chief prosecutor has announced charges including rebellion and sedition against Catalan leaders following the region's declaration of independence."
Imagine if we had acted like that against Nicola Sturgeon!
Completely agree with this.
My money is on the following:
Some violence
The EU wetting itself
The EU telling Spain they have to sort this out
Spain give Catalonia what they want but agree to "cooperate" in some loose way so they all stay part of the EU and Catalonia feels more independent...
Massive **** up by the Spanish Government. Just let them vote on it. People that want to be independent should be allowed to be. A lesson we learned many years ago after some bloodshed. At least we gave the jocks a fair crack of the whip.
