Well, the "half" is a way of simplifying. Next elections will show an updated numbers. The reason I say half is that it's nonsense to pretend that approximately half of a population should be enough to bully the other half into a revolution that could cause a blood bath and creating millions of extrangers in their own country.

I think that's why rhetoric isn't enough to actually stop the half that want a revolution.

What number is high enough in your estimation then?

To start a revolution and provoke a blood bath?

Is "none" good enough for you?

So "none" is enough to start a revolution? Or to secede?

That doesn't make sense.

It's funny because it seems "half" of Spain is bullying the other "half" of Spain to stay part of... Spain.

*Half here is an approximation

And by bully you mean enforce the law that applies to the whole country?

In Catalonia, secessionists feel free to talk about their political stance, and secessionists do not. This is probably caused by the sheer amount of demonstrations (rather aggressive in tone as well) by a demographic that cannot exceed 50% in any election.

You could argue that "half of Catalonia" is bullying the other "half" of it. One with massive demonstrations and government-sponsored strikes, the other one, with law and courts?

Non nationalists in Spain are like 85% to be conservative.
