A new Catalan republican party, The Catalan Solidarity for Independence Party (SI), has taken it's first seats in the Catalan parliament today after gaining 3.3% of the vote and winning 4 seats.
Meanwhile, the other main pro-independence party, Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), saw it's vote drop from 14% to a mere 7%, losing 11 seats.
The big winners in the election were the centrist-nationalist Convergence & Union (CIU) party who took nearly 40% of the vote and gained 14 seats. The party is intentionally ambiguous on the national question so as to appeal to autonomists and republicans.

PSC (Unionist) - 18.3% - 28 Seats
PPC (Unionist) - 12.3% - 18 Seats
