Every single party in Spain is riddled with corruption. But it doesn't mean they can't defend some ideology anymore. Besides, this is not some crazy politician's idea, but a movement from people ranging from the far left to the Christian democracy. Some parties changed their positions to "ride the wave", though.
> There’s an estimated 40-45% of support for the vote and less than that (30-40%) support for independence.
And how you know that? Polls? Polls means nothing. They can say whatever their planners want them to say.

Iceland seems to do a pretty good job of listening to its people. > Polls means nothing. They can say whatever their planners want them to say. Regarding polls, I have a theory that you should always lie if asked in one. The less validity that polls have, the less they can be used to manipulate the vote. If no one believes what the polls say, there will have less influence and there be less chance of tactical voting, which is a real problem with our current version of democracy. Maybe some people think that tactical voting is a good thing, but in my lifetime it always seems to be the case that people are voting for the lesser of two evils, rather than what they actually believe in. Is that really what democracy is supposed to be about?
