FRM, I'd be very worried if I got a post like that from SG!
If the Spanish national government refused to allow a referendum, what choice did the people of Catalunya have but to organise it themselves?
I really am at a loss to understand why these little territories wish to break away and declare independance when the whole point of the EU seems to be strength in unity, bit counterintuitive.
Surely the scots or catalans would be in a stronger position bargaining with the EU as part of a larger group with which they have a historical affinity??
Small monded napoleon like politicians trying to create a legacy?? as in ANY legacy??
If you don't understand (as you say you don't) then best to shut the fuck up I would have thought.

" Both "authorities" - Catalan Govt and Spanish National Govt are legitimate and elected - are you losing the plot?"
No. But you are. The Catalan government gets it's authority and it's legitimacy from the Spanish government which retains 100% sovereignty. The same as in Scotland. Vastly over expensive parliament buildings notwithstanding power can be taken back to Westminster and Madrid at any time. And being a misguided but knowledgeable political beast you know this.
scotty no need to be rude, was hoping you could enlighten me.
And as for " lets see you try".....its easy...the english could could turn off the subsidy tap.
Bring it on
