Catalan Election: Nationalist CiU tops Socialist PSC | 43 comments (43 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

The best news for me is that the PP has painted itself into a corner in Catalunya and I celebrate:

Their constant raging against everything has lost them any chance to be considered a major party and a part of any coalition. Getting <11% of the vote in such an important region, after getting a close second on the national elections of 2004, should tell them something. But then, again, rational and social are not their games.

The PP is a coalition of Liberals, Christian Democrats, and Spanish Nationalists, all of them in tame and virulent forms. It needs to break up.

I agree and just maybe, they are breaking themselves apart from the inside, too. Even robots break down.

The factions you mention make me do double-thinks everytime, LOL:

Liberals: in the strangest sense.
Christian Democrats: an oxymoron in a secular state.
Spanish Nationalists: redundant.

It seems like a whole another re-definition of terms in their parallel planet.

Christian Democrats: an oxymoron in a secular state.

Spain is not a secular state, look at the contraversy concerning mandatory religous instruction in public schools. Spain is a Catholic country, it's just that the people don't seem to give a damn. So much for the value of enforced indoctrination.
