  1. I know little of Catalonia, but as far as Scotland goes that article is absurdly wrong-headed. The last Prime Minister of the UK was a well-educated, politically ambitious leader from Scotland, for goodness’ sake, and it’s quite clear that the best and brightest of every party in Scotland still aim for Westminster – with the exception of the SNP, of course. The author has also failed to notice that, far from fuelling separation, the economic crisis has seriously damaged the nationalist case by highlighting the vulnerability of Scotland to such economic shocks, and by fatally damaging the economic strategy that the SNP had previously been promoting. I don’t know if similar considerations would hold in the other places he mentions, but I have no confidence that he knows any more than me.
