The nerve-wracking excitiment towards thurdays happening can be felt anywhere in Europe right now, and the Scots are holding their breath. Will they finally break out of England, or will they stay as a part of the union? Anyhow, they have already set an example for many separists in Europe, and things are about to change in the modern-day Europe. Four more days, and history can be changed forever.
The Scottish referendum has become a catalyst for the following Europe. Catelonia and Venice are following the referendum up close. Catalonia is a part of Spain that wants to separate, but Madrid holds up the constitution law and says firmly no. There was a protest in the streets of Spain with 1,8 million people, all wanting a right to vote for separation of Spain. The fact that Scottish people got a right to vote has an enormously big impact on the separasits of Europe, creating hope all over Europe. In addition, one thing almost all of the small separists has in common; they all want to break out of their country and join the EU.
In Edinburgh, streets are covered in blue flags for Scotland and for the Eu, and one cannot see a Union Jack very often. Scotland goes infront as an excellent example of separisation, and europeans are asking the question: if the Scottish people can do it, why can't we? Therefore, regardless if the yes-part goes through with the votes on thursday, Europe will never remain the same.
