Subject: [EL] Rights to secession: Does size matter?

Question for observers of the Catalonia (Quebec, Scotland, etc.) secession movement:  What if the tables were turned and the larger part of a nation, decided to “secede” from the smaller part?  My guess is that this would not be deemed “secession” but, instead, would gain no sympathy.

Just 2 uncaffeinated bits of thought.  Offline comments welcome

cheers
