Okay this is a member of kind of like the Speaker of the House group.  It's not a member of the independence parties or part of the government.  

Obviously La Vanguardia and the unionist section of Catalonia don't like CP.  I don't think pro independence people disagree with CP on this point though.  Appreciate I've lived in Scotland pretty much my whole life so I could be missing it all entirely and i'm getting it second hand from back there.   I feel that a lot people are going to work and living their life as best they can but that doesn't mean they are not angry at the situation.  The incarcerations have strengthened resolve in my view of this section of the country (and increased resentment in others not pro-indy as i've seen myself).  

cards on the table I support pretty much everything Ada Colau says on this.  I don't dislike CP - I didn't like Mas much.

Finland and Argentina preparing to recognise Catalonia, apparently.

A single MP in each country have proposed it, not going to happen.

UK statement:

Quote

"The UK does not and will not recognise the unilateral declaration of independence made by the Catalan regional parliament. It is based on a vote that was declared illegal by the Spanish courts. We continue to want to see the rule of law upheld, the Spanish constitution respected, and Spanish unity preserved."

I think it's pretty clear that some political unions are good and others bad.

 

And the reasons usually posited for the EU being a bad one is that it "takes control" from its member nations. If that's something to be deplored, the UK and Spain must be the Fred and Rose West of political unions. Funnily enough, plenty of  Britnats think to seem to think they're great.
