But if it's deemed illegal by the Spanish courts then those voters likely to vote stay won't turn out and that will make the result meaningless!! There will be little campaigning by one side and no legal mandate for the result. I'm not against them having a vote but it has to be done with the approval of the Spanish government just like the Scottish one was.
As regards the countries who gained independence, can you name one that was in the same position as Scotland or Catalonia in terms of breaking away from a country they are geographically part of?? The Balkans spring to mind but that took a lot of lives through war or genocide to finally create the countries we see now, not sure that needs to happen here!!
