The federal martingale
What to look for the possible arrival on the scene of the third way -whether federal, as more autonomy ... - consultation: gather a sense of Catalan society or try to divide independence? In my view, the second rather than the first, but it is quite likely that proponents of federalism achieve the opposite, ie, the votes that emanate from any federalism "no."
The time spent in the federal long. A separatist and federalist choose this path would be wrong for four reasons:
First, anyone with some power in Spain does not speak so seriously about federalism. PSOE think it would make that much of what he sees as the Catalans are tired of successive governments that have taken place in Spain.
Second, federalism mean to keep us within the Spanish legal framework. Therefore we should expect the rest of Spain (each autonomy and the central government) made a 180 degree turn in the conception of the model and State. That is, if it does, we would be in the same situation now.
Third, due to the second point-to federalism or more autonomy with better financing (called as everyone wants this third response) lasted only would get headaches, tension, contempt, deceit and breach it suffered in Catalonia the government of Spain for some time. In federalism would negotiate and define the powers of good Catalonia and the rest of the state. After years and years of old and new struggles, we would realize-again-the big mistake and lost time that meant choosing the "third way." (Otherwise aspirations of this kind could have reached some years with the reform of the Statute, that the first Congress and the Constitutional Court were halted after rennet, do you remember that?).
And fourth, if the EU survives the crisis, eventually a possible target of the EU through a federation or confederation of states. Catalonia in, so it should be more like a federate within the Union and not with Spain to have a voice directly.
