A popular vote tells the parliament what the people want. It's not a binding vote but more a poll.

Definitely wasn't billed that way to the Catalan people, the rest of Spain, or the rest of the world for that matter.

It wasn't billed that way to people that don't understand republics. Catalán is not a direct democracy AFAIK so they should know already

General population votes never do anything in republics except declare popular desire.

It never is. Because in a democracy it efffectively is. A politian that defied a public vote like that would be slaughtered in the polls.

No. Catalan is a semi autonomous part of Spain. They want to separate from Spain fully.

Will Catalan be part of EU after the split?
MixMasterPants
Who knows. At this point the split seems unlikely, or at least difficult to achieve. I expect the new state would have to join the EU...
Gilgamech
They should move the EU out of state-level and down to province-level. European states come and go but provinces just get redistributed.

Basically there's two issues. Some of the originally poor parts of Europe are now some of the wealthiest parts thanks to EU subsidies 1/2

ReallyGoodBee
Catalonia wants a democratic vote and independence from Spain. The vote is symbolic, but seceding is against the Spanish constitution.
ReallyGoodBee
Spain's response to the situation was to send in the National Police and beat Catalonia into submission by physically blocking the vote.
ReallyGoodBee
The police were literally raiding polling stations with rubber bullets and tear gas and ripping ballot boxes out of people's hands.
tzap
Whether they should have been asked to block the vote or not is anotehr thing.
tzap
To be fair, at the point where the police is asked to block a vote, there's not much else to do but throw in the tear gas and rubber bullets
Moonhoof
Catalonia is one of the richer parts of spain, also culturally different. Held an illegal (according to Spanish government) vote & "won" it.
Pelikanmutationsgesang
It was a court that ruled it to be unconstitutional. Voter turnout was about 42%, so not really representative.

Very true - Which is why it was such a shame things had to get violent at all. Now people who didn't support it might as a reaction.

Not really won it. AFAIK most catalonians would've voted to stay with Spain. How recent events changed their opinion I don't know.

Hence the "". This is exactly why a peaceful popular vote (no legal ramifications) would have been the better alternative.
BalfMalark
The voters didnt make it unpeaceful
Moonhoof
Neither did the riot police armed with batons and rubber bullets, who forced people away by force to begin with.
SanguineKnave
Fun fact: the preliminary results had a greater percentage of eligible voters vote for Catalan independence than there were for brexit
16745
Tbf, that's not a hard thing to archive..
SanguineKnave
No, but it's internationally accepted as a democratic mandate. I'm also happy if we stop accepting brexit as legitimate :P
charlie2979
42% turnout with 90% voting for independence according to the Catalan government.
elfenix
when there's a vote that's illegitimate, many in the opposition to the referendum don't vote because they don't want to give it legitimacy
charlie2979
It's turnout was large enough for it to be legitimate despite being illegal. Higher proportion of eligible voters than brexit for example.
BalfMalark
I think there was about 70% of the public for separating from the rest of Spain
SanguineKnave
> 90% of people who voted. About 38% of eligible voters (brexit was 37.44% of eligible voters for comparison)
BalfMalark
Thank you! Stay safe!
LoudBirb
Of the voting public. But most of the pro-Spain peeps stayed home because Spain said the vote was illegal.
BalfMalark
Cant count your vote if you dont turn up. Most people didnt vote for Brexit, but its happening. Same with Trump
DenverCoderIX
This. Only fucktards went voting. Normal and well-adjusted people stayed at home, not partaking on criminal actions.
Genini
If most of them would have voted to stay with Spain then Spain wouldn't have tried to stop the vote.
16745
It isn't that simple. Last time I was in catalonia the remain voters where in the majority, but the independence voters where way louder.
Genini
Why didn't they turn out to vote then?
P0kEy
The the vote was 90% in favor of secession, the vote was also counted by the people who were in favor of secession in the first place.
Havak
Also only about 43% of the population voted.
nfPle4c3hI
Only 55% of Americans of voting age, vote during presidential elections.

I didn't even think it was nearly that I was thinking about half of that. I would say over 50 percent would be good.
ScreamedTheStableBoy
It's worth noting that more might have been counted if they wernt being beaten And alot the polling boxes were taken it mayve been over half
LordSlickRick
It was deemed an illegal election before it happened. So if you were in favor of staying, you would not have been out at that vote anyways.
LordSlickRick
Less than half the population votes I think.
