1) The most important issues in my circle of friends are the air pollution, the aging of the population, the fact that everyone we know is sick or has a health problem (we can never be thankful enough to live in a country with free medical care).
2) The main candidates are known and none of them can say two meaningful sentences right behind eachother.
3) Those that can speak are too radical, in short, we have a pityful bunch of "climbers". Oh yes, they do not talk about politics, either. I don't know what they're going to do about pollution, fossil fuels, etc. I don't know if they are for or against immigration...
4) The Catalan issue is looked upon with the same impatience as the Basque issue in its day: who do they think the are?

That's interesting, Terechu.

What's causing the decreased air quality? Didn't heavy industry in Asturias decline with resulting clear skies a decade or two ago?

Friends in La Mancha say the same about Catalan independence. I do wonder, though, what could stop a region from seceding?
