That point keeps getting lost, this whole thing was done outside the normal election system. There is no Catalan mandate for independence. Instead, this is a prescription for violence and civil war.
“That point keeps getting lost, this whole thing was done outside the normal election system”
What the hell was that supposed to mean??
Edmund Burke was appalled by the French revolution but supported our desire for independence.
If Spanish civil war I is any help in predicting what might happen, yeah, this could get ugly.
“this whole thing was done outside the normal election system.”
Sorry, but that’s an invalid argument since the Madrid regime has said that any vote on independence is illegal.
That said you can’t have the vote in the ‘normal’ system as there is no normal way to do this.
Likewise there is never a legal way to topple a tyrannical government...you just do it.
