They must know this. I don't know what their end game was here, seems like a stunt that has spiraled out of control.

No surprise: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41783238

We won’t acknowledge their independence.

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

we should have a vote on it i don't like being told what i do and don't acknowledge

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

All to do with Brexit and keeping the Spanish 'sweet'...

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

As I’ve said previously I don’t think we want to start setting a precedent of acknowledging secessionist movements unilaterally declaring independence either ;)

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

mmm, it's interesting that some those that are sympathetic to Catalan independence, were dead set against Scotland being independent !

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

We are a representative democracy - that’s how it works...

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

Did anyone seriously think we would? It'll be interesting to see if anyone does. N. Korea maybe...

cracks in the EU bloc how unfortunate

Re: Catalonia Independence
 

I'm sure they'll be papered over as usual. Wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that the EU isn't a safe bet.

Sturgeon calls for Catalonia independence campaign to be ‘respected’[due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others.]

Ms Sturgeon outlined her support for the Scottish government’s response and called for dialogue rather than criticism.

The leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Ms Sturgeon tweeted the Scottish Government's response to the result after the Catalan parliament voted for independence today.

She posted: “We respect position, the people of Catalonia must have ability to determine own future”.

Trust Nicola to stick her head above the Trenches. I can understand why Theresa May was quick to declare they don’t recognise Catalonia Independence.

She needs to recognise, Scotland had their ‘once in a lifetime referendum’, and that was to stay, the talk of further independence, is the reason she lost 20 Seats.
