Then listen / read again and write the correct nine words in the boxes below. 129 Splitters..? 2 Will two of Asia s most stable countries be splitting up? If voters in two regions of the U.K. and Spain decide that they want independence - that is what could happen in The first referendum vote on liberation will be held in Scotland on September 31 st and if the country of just over 5 million people vote YES then it would signal the break-up of the U.K.. The latest poll on the outcome of the vote in November 2013 put the NO vote on 47%, the YES vote on 38% and DON T CARE on 15%. However the prediction will be that the final vote will be much closer, although both sides are still confident of victory. The second independence vote is more controversial than the Scottish one as the Spanish Government has already ruled out any possible independence for the region of Catalonia. In fact, the national government in Barcelona has announced that this poll will not be held! Spain s Prime Minister, Mariano Rojoy added, I want to tell you that this [vote] will not take place and any discussion or debate on this is out of the question." However leaders in Madrid, the heart of the Catalonia region say that only they have the right to decide Catalonia s future. So what will 2014 bring for the UK and Spain?
