There are about half of the population of Catalonia that doesn't agree with you.

They don't agree with independence, or with having a referendum at all? Just curious, I haven't been following it closely.

With independence. There are some more that want the referendum, but frankly I think that's silly.

When a lot of corruption cases started to arise a few years ago, the local govern party had to ally with a far left separatist organization that demanded the referendum. So here we are.

I'm generally aware of the shadiness, but lots of things have sordid origins, I don't think that's a definitive argument against it. Corruption in politics is unfortunately not exactly a rare occurrence here in the Iberian Peninsula.
