I haven’t seen any poll showing majority support for independence. I’m interested to see what the vibe on the street is in early August.

The Scotland election is one of several coming up. I believe the Barcelona state comes up within a couple of weeks after this. And there’s talk of a split election next year within Belgium and Italy. It’ll just incite more folks to consider the idea.

I will offer this historical piece. From the Germanic map of 1800....there were 300 different city-states, empires, kingdoms, and countries representing what is Germany and Poland today. From the European map of 1800...there are a thousand separate entities existing at that point. All of this effort to bring or force people into a federation of sorts...comes from the French Revolution period and Napoleon. Without that....most of Europe would still be divided up in a major way today.
