There are no hardliners or moderates on the issue of secessionism. It is applying the law or skipping it to govern with those who have killed Spaniards and proclaim a superiority over the rest of Spaniards, who also capture the majority of the country's economic resources to the detriment of other areas when all citizens pay their taxes equally.
@Juan_Dystopian
May 14, 2024 at 12:04 pm
Is this video about Spanish general elections or Catalan elections? Very little about Catalan politics.
In this election the popular vote has been with the non independentist side for the first time in several decades. Due to lack of motivation from part of the traditional independentist voters, despite having several options, from far left to far right parties that are pro secession

This video is just complete nonsense. You skipped the Pacte del Majestic, understandably, because it would ruin the whole point of the video. Spain is never going back to a full bipartidism as nationalistic parties have a lot of power in multiple regions, there is more than just Catalonia and Euskal Herria)

I think this video does not take into account where did the vote go when the big parties started to not dominate the parlament. Despite being mentioned, Ciudadanos took a lot of the votes that would have gone to PP/VOX or PSOE, and I feel that the disappapearance explains far better the uprise of PP in the Catalan elections than the two party system making a big return. The other main reason that explains Catalans parlament result is the high absention when comparing with the election where the separatist had a majority, in 2021 and 2017, which is the main catalan way to punish the incompetence of ERC last legislature (in contrast of the slight aument of puigdemonts Junts+). In conclusion, I think your video ommits some important facts (Cs dissapearance and abstention) but you drew a logical conclusion from an incompleted picture which could be addressed. Great video tho 😉

it's not "people's party" it's the "popular party", I think that distinction in name is important to identify the pretentions of the party.

Pro independence party clash with each other which give advantage to National party like PSOE and PPE. But still vote share of all pro independence party gain more than 40%, which still “Catalan independence” is still quite popular issue in Catalonia

Spanish guy living in Catalonia for 18 years here. There are a lot of reasons but to me the main reason is the impossible alliance between catalan nationalist parties: ERC and Junts. They hate each other to the guts, they rather deal with spanish parties than with each other (in fact in many cities they do). They did a coalition in 2015 (if I remember correctly) but it has been down the rails since then.

Having two parties that cannot get more than 50% vote is good. As it gives political stability and the prospect of them getting kicked out of the rolling party by a third party meaning they care more.
@eduardpuiggarcia6584
May 14, 2024 at 12:04 pm
You're too focused on Spanish politics on this one, Catalonian politics go on their own way. Here, stability are the too main regional parties, Junts (CiU) and ERC, they have always been, PSC and PP gaining power is not returning to anything, it is a completely new scenario for Catalan politics.

Spain would become economically and politically better off without Catalonia, so the Spanish government would finally develop Bilbao, Cadiz, Sevilla, and Valencia at the expense of Barcelona inhabited by ingrate Catalan separatists.

-No mention about how Puigdemont could make Sánchez's gobernment fall in Madrid if he isn't given the Catalan presidency.
-Almost no time talking about whether the independence movement is dead or not and why did pro-independence parties fall in general.
-Way too much time talking about bipartidism, something that has little to do with Catalonia in particular.
-No mention on how and why did ERC (Catalan center-left) fall so much.
-No mention to the rise of both the right in general (the left fell 11 seats) and hard-right Catalan independists either, which is surprising in such a leftist region like Catalonia.
Why are TLDR videos about Spain so…bad? They focus on the wrong things, explain things poorly, or get things wrong straight up. And this video is actually one of the better TLDR videos about Spain, and still focused on random stuff instead of the elections, its effects on Spanish politics and on the independence movement.

Impossible to fully understand the situation wihtout analysisng the 900 K abstentionism, asking of which portion of it were independentist voters refusing to vote the Indy parties. Participation in these elections were one of the lowest in the last 15/20 years, only surpassed by the Covid 19 elections.
