Catalan government fired

dimanche 29 octobre 2017 à 02:00

Rajoy has abolished the Catalan government after the latter made a declaration of independence.

The Catalan government should not have done that, since it doesn't have a clear mandate to do so. The participation in the referendum was too small to constitute a mandate.

Rajoy has also closed down an investigation into violence by the Spanish thugs during the referendum. Covering up for violent thugs is a long-standing practice with Rajoy. Then Rajoy called an election in Catalonia. If the election is held fairly, and does not exclude the prominent supporters of independence, I think it will be a good thing. It will show the will of Catalans better than the referendum, which would have been imperfect even if the national thugs had not attacked voters.

The UK has made progress getting some rich individuals to pay their fair tax, but corporations are still getting away with paying almost none.

Would exiting the EU enable the UK to tax the profits that companies send to Ireland or Luxembourg?
