I'm fascinated by just how differently Catalonian, Scottish and Texas/Southern US independence is treated around here.

I'm generally pro independence, with the BIG caveat of the fact that I think it should require multiple votes over a 10 year period for independence to occur.

Like say, one vote every 3 years or so, requiring a 4th final successful vote for independence in the 10th year to allow the split, while the plans of the split are negotiated after the first vote.

Free Catalonia might sound nice on paper, but who knows based on the seperation terms, percentage of the debt they have to take on (you wouldn't expect to just be a debt free nation right?), Territory rights, power rights depending how the grid works... etc.

Power grid wouldn't be a problem. We have hydroelectric plants in the Pyrenees, as well as 2 Nuclear Plants and a connention with France. Water, depending on what the Spanich gov could do with the river Ebro, wouldn't be much of a problem too.
