Vote for independence on 1st of October.
Not sure if it's full independence or devolved like ours.
But would they then have their own national football team and qualify for Europe etc.

I thought the Spanish authorities were blocking it? Raiding places for voting material etc

It's complicated, I have family who live in Barcelona. During the civil war, Catalans were persecuted and the language was banned. There are a lot of similarities with the relationship between England & Wales except Catalonia is the richest part of Spain but is also taxed the heaviest. The locals rightly want to pay less tax and govern themselves but mainland Spain are not going to lose a major source of income so have refused the referendum which will almost certainly vote for autonomy. Bearing in mind they've only had democracy since the 80s, I fear a civil war if Spain don't grant it, it could get messy. The Catalan government have been talking with Scotland in depth but it's not going to be an easy resolution.....
Sounds familiar :angry:Quote:
