Second, Cameron and Salmond have signed an agreement by which the United Kingdom and Scotland agree about the question to be asked in the Scottish referendum in 2014. Finally, the Catalan prime minister, in a calculated electoral move, has also mentioned the question that he would like to ask in a referenda in Catalonia if the wins the next Catalan elections to be held in November 25th.
