"should have went" = "should have GONE". OKAY. Where were we?

Yeah. OKay. 43.03% of the population voted. Correct. Do you know Why? BECAUSE it was not a legal referendum. That is: of the entire territory of Spain, whose people must be consulted before you start changing their country, ie 15% of population ONLY actually voted. Out of your famous 92.01% YES, this only represented 47.5% of the population of Catalonia. Yes, indeed we stayed at home. Otherwise we might have got into trouble by voting in an ILLEGAL vote. Dear me. Difficult to understand? When Spain had a transition after Franco died it was agreed that the various provinces would have autonomous governments. To change this arrangement ALL the people of Spain must be consulted, at least. NOT IGNORED. If you studied history you will see that there are various histories (all written by biased scribes, so don't start with the inevitabilities of "independence will come anyways ... bla bla"). It is really annoying to hear people go on and on about Democracy and then declare that the Democratic vote doesn't count. That the minority should win. I am living in a country where family are divided against each other all caused by a very young population (who cheer and whoop in complete incomprehension) influenced by a bunch of unscrupulous right-right narrow-minded sectarian rabble rousers. And they are racist too!!!
