Catalan Politics.

For class Xavi asked us to research different Catalan political parties.  I was assigned CIU which stands for Convergencia i Unio or in english Convergence and Union.  During my research i found that Artur Mas is the head of the party and he is also the current president of the Catalan government.  Its a moderate Catalan nationalist party.  In Parliament they hold more than twice as many seats than any other political party.  As I was doing my research for class I was keeping an eye out for political posters and signs around town.  A few days later I came across this poster in the Metro.
I looked up what Pensem en Positiu meant and in english it translate to Think Positive.  I think that is really interesting that this is a political slogan because in no way does it express a parties political viewpoint.  I think that yes it sends a positive message obvioulsy but i dont really understand what kind of message they are trying to put out.  I am really confused as to what this really has to do with elections or voting.
