Poll: Do you support Catalan independence?

What do you think?

THE FUTURE OF Spain’s Catalan region hangs in the balance after a banned referendum and a suspended declaration of independence.

It has long grappled with the idea of independence, but Spain’s economic crisis coupled with resentment with the central government over taxation — and, more recently police violence — has pushed the secession cause to centre stage.

Many Catalans feel separated from Spain and see themselves as from their region, not their country.

But others believe that Catalonia is part of a strong, united Spain.
