I think seperationist votes should need to be passed twice over a 10 year period.

Once to initiate the process.... then once to finalize with the terms in place.

Partly so people know what they are getting into, and partly because often times independence is due to circumstance. For example, in this case. The amount wanting independence doubled after the global Financial Crisis.

If their economy got better within 10 years, independence faction might shrink again.

 

Outside that... if the two votes pass?  They should let them go.

That's completely true. Many people have voted thinking in their wallets rather than thinking about their flag(s).

But it's also that "we" are tired of being used by many spanish governments as a smokescreen to avoid facing criticism by some of their decisions. One ofthe last ones being the Minister of Education that said that his job was to make catalan kids more pro-Spain and less pro-catalonia.

@Troll_Whisperer: Since Bildu has become so important, if Catalonia ever leaves, so will Euskadi (mainly because if Catalonia leaves, the Spanich governments will try go get that money back from other places like Euskadi and Navarra).
