The most of the opposition politicians were jailed. My Grandma told me: If one came into the the polling room, the polling booth were turned to the wall. Of course one could pull them in front to give a secret vote. But then, when you got out of the building one got beaten up by group of about 20 older members of the Hitler-youth. You had obviously not voted for the right party, the NSDAP. One could avoid this, if there were enough friends at the voting building who left it with you. Of course there were enough Nazis too, without any doubt. Quote:
If I had to do with it: 1. condition - no decision and mention of separation during the mediation. (I think it's all about money. The Catalans are paying more than 20% of the Gross National Product). The Spanish government is blocking all forms of "mediations from outside". So the Spanish prime minister. Quote:
The EU would do the devil to intervene/ "intermeddle" in Scotland. That's the matter of Scotland.

Completely different situation, Britain joined the European Common Market, by a very close referendum vote. Britain did not join a Franco German dominated European Union, or as the Belgian Dictator appears to see it The United States of Europe, Scottish independence is no different to Catalan Independence, Scotland could not survive on her own, but as scounds says, I too would like a vote on telling them to go fuck themselves. Read some of ottos posts on this subject, he is a Scot!

The last time I checked, Great Britain was still a country in her own right rather than a long established but rebellious part of another country, as is Catalonia. It is in order to retain our status as an independent self-governing nation that we have voted to leave an EU which is working towards an "ever closer union", a policy goal on which we were never as a people consulted. I strongly oppose the separatist aspirations of disloyal minorities but I endorse the right of independent countries to retain their independence and incidentally their territorial integrity. On the Catalonia question, Spain is in the right; on the Scotland question, we in the rest of the UK have rather had it up to the eyeballs with the Scottish Nationalists and we will not slash our wrists or anything if Scotland allows the SNP to make their decisions; it will then be the fault of the Scottish people for not kicking these idiots out of office. I hope it doesn't happen because I like Scotland. If they choose to stay I will be glad. But if they want to leave then I also want them gone.

Not strictly true, as many of us have pointed out previously Britain was taken into the European Economic Community on 1 July 1973 by that teacherous git EUdward HEUth, the British people had no choice in the matter. This was after the famous French Jimmy Durante impersonator Charles DeGauloftheGuy had twice blocked UK entry, so there has always been a degree of enmity. The referendum giving people a choice was held in 6 June 1975 almost 2 years later Interestingly Norway was also offered the chance to join in 1973, their leaders were more democratic than Heath though, they held a referendum at the time and the Norwegian people said NO.

The Spanish prime minister seems to agree with me that the EU should keep its nose out of other peoples' business.

Your Prime Margret Thatcher signed the Maastricht contracts. He is a - when he is - a Luxembourg Dictator, not a Belgian Dictator. The Netherlands, Malta, Luxembourg, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal does survife, having also not more inhabitants than Scotland.

The Spanish prime is an incapable idiot, who is lighting the fire instead of blowing it out.

It might be that the Spanish PM has decided to call the Catalan government out on their posturing and has also decided to go the whole way if necessary to impose the authority of the state on a province which has got too big for its boots.

First chance we got, we voted to leave: because we have learned that our own national politicians are selling us out every chance they get. Scotland will manage as an independent country if she so decides: I am sure she will get by. But her standard of living will fall considerably, at least down to Ireland's level and probably further down than that. This is because she will lose her Barnett Formula subsidies, and will have various economic hurdles to surmount, such as a new currency and a new central bank. If independence is important enough, that is something people will accept.
