Subject: RE: BS: Catalonia: pros and cons of separation
Steve,
There was no overwhelming appetite for the UK to leave the EU.
Yes there was. UKIP actually won the EU elections and the parties all offered a referendum for fear they would win the general election too if they alone promised one.
Spain would have disrupted the Catalonian referendum however the question was put.
