Thanks Jacbob. Considering that Mr Hereu, Barcelona Mayor, only managed to get 12% of citizens of Barcelona vote in his referendum a couple of months ago after spending 3 million euros I think nobody has the right to question the turnout. More than half a million people have voted. The yes got 90% of the votes. The turnout is very good considering the media void, absolute lack of budget, that it was all volunteer work (more than 70000 volunteers, not bad) and basically that this was not official meaning no direct political consequences the next day.

Last popular referendums showed a voter turnout lower thant 15%. I soem big cities was below the 10%.
SO, yeap catalans want the independence, but we are too shy to vote for it.

Ironic tone: off
