Politico EU did a nonscientific Trumpability index for European countries (and a neighbor or two). It's kind of a mostly serious look at how much appeal Trump or a Trump-like candidate would have.

It lists Italy as one, but they've already had their Trump-alike.

UK Trump, France Trump, Russia Trump, Italy Trump, Turkey Trump, Spain Trump and the Nordic Trumps all get cool hats

Don't squander your support

Never. That war booty truly livens up the library. It is all in excellent condition, I assure you. No kingdom and realm keeps their plunder in a better state of preservation than us.

Further, that cartoon was much more amusing than it ought to be. I quite like it. I am almost prepared to print it out and frame it.

I came in here to complain, but I quite forgot. I forget so many things these days, but I shall count it as an improvement in this particular instance.

I saw it coming.

Mind you, I wholeheartedly support the Catalan people having a referendum. But with an ultraconservative central goverment there was no way a proper referendum was going to take place. What the Govern wanted to do in lieu of that... wasn't exactly good either.

For that matter I think that even if they got a referendum and indep lost, they deserve a new economic deal

I'm biased by family bonds, but yeah, go Catalonia! Hope it doesn't come to violence.

I think we all saw it coming. The Catalan autonomous government and the Spanish government have been in a tense faceoff that's been building up for years now. I hope it doesn't end in violence... doesn't seem likely that it will since nobody really wants a repeat of the Spanish Civil War.

I don't think it will come to that. But the referendum has pretty much fallen to pieces. When things began to get half-arsed many former supporters dropped.


TBH the way the Catalan society is polarized at the moment the best thing to do for everyone would be to take a step back and try to bring the tension down. Heavy handed moves on either side could make this turn ugly very fast.

Deeply concerned that there could be a Spanish civil discontent, repressing people who majority support you has a tendency of turning them away :/

[ChairmanPoo]

It's not quite that simple, I'm afraid :/

[Strife26]

It never is

[martinuzz]

Yeah, Labour party is already calling it a breach of separation of powers, and a power grab by the government.
