From what I’ve read, they’re more to the right then the rest of Spain but considering how far to the left Spain is, they’re still to the left of our Democrats. Their opposition is the euro Christian Democrats, RINOs basically. They’re all for independence thought. At the end of the day, for them its language.

Interesting ramification for soccer fans, what happens to FC Barcelona?

I believe they would no longer be allowed to play in the Spanish League, which would greatly impact their revenues.

Catalonia is far left.

Note - the separatists won only 47% of the vote and 63 of 137 seats

About scotland — it’s not completely true. Their welfare state could run on its own with North Sea oil for a few years. But then it would run out — and that would be sooner rather than later
