>As an outsider, it's strange that nobody here seems to question whether the referendum really makes sense.

I think now that the referendum has started it should be really obvious why Catalonia doesn't want to be a part of Spain.

Just look at twitter being filled with imagery of Spanish riot police beating up kids and old people while trying to stop the vote.

Who would want to live in a country where the government sends an army of masked thugs to violently attack people who are doing nothing criminal?



Yes. You are right. Spanish government has failed miserably, just look at the images.

The next obvious step will be end-to-end auditable voting systems.
