Catalunya isn't a little province either - in fact much of the issue is because it has a large amount of the GDP. I'm English but was living in Scotland at the time of the referendum there (I abstained) and having been living in Barcelona since (including the vote here). I'm not sure if independence would be good or not in either case (thus why I never voted) but I hope the UK Government never tries the sort of violent voter suppression I saw here.
