80% of Catalans say 'Yes' to independence in symbolic ‘referendum'

``After Spain's High Court ruled the independence referendum proposed by Catalan leader Artur Mas unconstitutional last month, the Madrid government has also issued a ban on the informal poll, forbidding Catalans from making any public show of support for independence. In response to Catala's statement, Mas said he feels bad for the people in central government who missed "a golden opportunity to understand the message of Catalan will," recalling the examples of referendums held recently in Scotland as well as Quebec province of Canada in 1995.''
