Catalan parliament declares independence from Spain

I don’t think it’s valid to claim the non voters in an aggregate 65%. Otherwise you could say 68% of the country didn’t vote to leave. Which presumably means it was a stronger position.

Edit - I see you removed that claim.

68% also didn't vote to stay. It always gets silly when you try to make arguments about vote percentages based on the entire population because they always work completely in reverse as well.

Agree entirely, that was my point.

Yes, I was copy pasting my post from elsewhere which was in response to the opposite claim :)
