What would not have disappointed you? A 22-seat tie at the top?

Re: Spain: 95% counted (none / 1)

Yeah, well, I would have preferred better results for smaller parties and that the PP wouldn't have won.

While I am not the happiest person with the current Spanish government, I am not sure what the PP has done to deserve the victory ... are they really going to win the next elections?

Re: Spain: 95% counted (none / 0)

The next elections are far in the future.

This outcome, 2-seat win over the PSOE and 4 percentage points, was described by El Pais today as a sign that the Government should worry.

It's just a 3.6% win, so it's borderline.

Re: Spain: 99.92% counted (none / 0)

Not enough votes left to change the result, I don't think...
