  2. What I don't understand is that in Catalonia the sparsely populated area's and in the small towns people's votes count twice and they can vote twice too, that's severly rigging the system of "Democracy", 1 person can vote for a political party or person and it effectively counts for 4 freaking votes in the end 😕WTF⁉ Then untop of that, the voters threshold for a party to get to participate in the regional and "national" (in this case Catalan) election is a third lower for any given Catalan nationalistic/separatist party vs a non aligned party,....again severly rigging the system of "Democracy" to their favour, because the rural sparsely populated areas and the small towns i just mentioned are all without exceptions bastions of Catalan nationalist/separatist parties. That's why we seen the fallout after the "Coup d'etat" attempt in Catalonia when Mr Puigdemont and some other separatist politicians tried to unilaterally proclaim Catalonia's independence of the Kingdom of Spain,....it wasn't even based on their results, given after severly rigging the system they actually didn't even manage to get a majority in any stretch of the imagination. People didn't feel represented (clearly they weren't) and the move was an illegal one aswell, it contradicted the Spanish Constitution one that Catalonia itself even ratified and signed, so it was wrong in so many way's. (going that route would have even made it impossible for the EU to have them join, which is the claimed wish of the separatist) Don't get me wrong, if the real majority of the people of Catalonia really want independence, then via a real representative Democratic process they should get their chance to get there, this was definitely not the case here, it was a blatant Coup d'etat attempt on the part of the Catalan nationalist. It turns out that the hardcore Catalan separatist didn't have a majority even after they severly rigged that system for decade's, so before Spain turns Catalonia back over to the Catalan semi autonomous regional government it should address these weird and undemocratic rules the Catalan separatist have afforded themselves to their favour. Then and only then do you get real representative Democracy in Catalonia if you don't do that, we'll be back here again in the future, and I'm guessing it will happen at even worse timing then it was last time, because the Catalan separatist definitely know when best to strike.
