Pro-independence stats

[Comte Arnau]

This thread is aimed at any statistics on pro-independence support in the different stateless nations of the world, specially in Europe. I would sincerely like to know about real stats, so please mention sources if you do.

Catalonia

As I rightfully suspected, the arrival to power in Spain of the Spanish right-wing has meant a new boost in the already increasing pro-independence feeling in Catalonia.

Here, according to the last poll by Gesop published today in El Periódico newspaper, for the first time, more than 50% would vote yes in a referendum for independence, 53.6% exactly. The funny thing is that most Catalans (60.4%) keep on thinking that the no would win. Spaniards outside Catalonia are largely unaware of this and keep on thinking too that pro-independence feeling is under 30%.

The percentage has speeded up since 2007. Always according to Gesop, in that year, only 33.9% would have voted yes, against a 40.6% who would have voted no. In 2009, the no still won by a close distance (40.6% against 39%). In 2010, the yes wins for the first time. Now the distance begins to be significant, as the no has gone down to 32%.

How favourable would you be towards an Iberian Federation wherein all nations could have a certain degree of independence while still being united in one country for mutual benefit?

I would largely be in favour of big cooperation in certain aspects after reaching sovereign statehood, provided that they were on an equal basis. Federation, not really, because I know what federation means for Spaniards. However, I'd accept it for more trivial things, such as an Iberian Football League.
