That would mean a clear majority of the population on a clear question (only 43% turnout with the No side not voting) and would also involve the right of Catalonia's localities separating from Catalonia in referendums and would also mean that no trade agreements (like the EU) would apply to Catalonia and also that approximately 25% of Spain's debt would be transferred to Catalonia.

The challenge in all the referendums on separation  is that you can never leave willy nilly without repercussions and owning a share of the responsibilities and debts that you must inherit from you previous associations.
