The first European referendum was so much fun they’re planning a sequel

There hasn’t been this much demand for a sequel since The Hangover (shame how that one worked out).

Catalonia is having a referendum on November 9.

Ok, the referendum in Spain was already planned. The question is: Will it go ahead?

The Spanish government has promised to block the planned referendum but from a practical perspective, that sounds like a tough chore. I mean, how do you block a vote? With tanks?

In any case, the Catalan parliament approved the legal framework for the succession vote today so it’s moving ahead.
