Again, as in the December elections, won by the People’s Party, Mariano Rajoy.
With the conversion of 97 per cent. votes that won 137 seats in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies (the lower house of parliament). So to 176 Mandate missing most of its 39 members. Again so as half a year ago, the populists have no chance of self-governance and again have to seek a coalition partner.
It promises to be so replay of entertainment as voices for the other parties they were divided also like six months ago. Again, in second place are the socialists of the PSOE, who today received 85 seats, losing 5 places. A left-wing coalition Podemos and radical United Left (IU) received today 71 seats in the previous elections had their 69.
Increased the difference is only apparent in Ciudadanos, who in December won 40 seats and now have their 32. Although it may turn out that after conversion of all votes, these differences will be even smaller.
all in all, today’s election result is bad for Spain. Delays the process of political change, does not change anything, nor Spain goes forward. He keeps the country in a hopeless situation. Classic impasse.
The December elections were a turning point for Spain, because it ended the dictates of the two great parties. Previously, for over 40 years, power passed from hand to hand between the People’s Party and the Socialists of the PSOE. During those elections, it turned out that the political scene became smaller parties with whom these two giants would share power.
For any division of power did not happen, because in Spain, not accustomed nor taught to coalition governments , nobody could get along with anyone. Create a common government failed both PSL leader Mariano Rajoyowi and leader of the Socialists, Pedro Sanchez. The negotiations lasted almost half a year. Each party had too much to lose to arrange with the other.
Now the results are similar, so the scenario could happen again. Because if this time on any coalition can count on? Priority has attempted People’s Party. And with 137 mandates and a coalition of Ciudadanos, which has 32 seats, to 176 person most would miss very little. Besides Ciudadanos, despite ideological differences, declares its willingness to talk and seek compromise, so at least give you a chance.
Of course, a common and strong majority government would today, even those not yet complete results, create the Populists of socialists . But here, as in December, the chances are slim. Both parties over the years have accused each other of various offenses. A PSOE until recently loudly screamed that the People’s Party is the most corrupt party in the whole of Spain. The coalition with the Peasant Party would be so today for them the kiss of death.
Is greater chance of a coalition on the left side? Nor, as would arise under the leadership of the leader of the PSOE, which is the party which, though now defended second position (polls wieszczyły that the Socialists will fall with the number of seats gained the third place), it still has today a very poor result. The worst in 21 years.
In addition, Podemos and radical IU, which is the successor of the Communist Party of Spain, tied together a coalition Unidos Podemos (Together we can), counting among that together they manage to defeat the socialists and marginalize them in politics. If united under the slogan, now why would they want to govern together with the socialists? Then there are considerable differences in curriculum and lack of willingness to cooperate. Each of these parties wants to be this one, right Left.
Rajoy few days ago appealed to the other party, everyone agreed that the party that wins the election will create a minority government. And since the People’s Party won the elections for the second time, and also part of the electorate, which in December voted for Ciudadanos, now came back and supported the PSL, so why not this appeal listen.
The more that Spain can not afford to another half-year suspension.
