For me, the question is whether Rajoy will negotiate a fiscal pact. If he does, all bets are off. But I don't think he will.<br /><br />And yes, I set up a poll on my blog to gauge my readers' opinions. Not many of them, unfortunately.<br /><br />http://www.thebadrash.com/2012/09/13/thebadpoll-is-catalan-independence-now-inevitable/<br /><br />Also some interesting comments on my brief summary of the march (and one pic I took):<br /><br />http://www.thebadrash.com/2012/09/12/a-march-in-barcelona-that-surprised-everyone-11s2012/Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562902749398922096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709628234185282197.post-56078517787383099382012-09-13T11:18:18.157+02:002012-09-13T11:18:18.157+02:00Thanks Tom!

If reactions from Spanish nationalist media continue to be marked by condemnation and lack of respect for Catalonia - what we have seen during the last 48 hours - then we will, of course, see more and more 'independentistes'.<br /><br />Whether these people will in the end dare to vote Yes! to full sovereignty is a more complicated question and will depend a lot on the support Catalonia gets from the international community, not the least from other small democratic countries like my native Sweden.<br /><br />What do you think?
