PSOE wants Podemos and Ciudadanos...which is impossible according toPodemos and Ciudadanos

But PSOE claims no abstention with PP..and Ciudadnos claims no support with PP leader Rajoy

So third elections...isn't it?

A pleasure

Re: 90 percent counted (none / 1)

Rajoy could stay as caretaker indefinitely (for 4 years) until he wants new elections at which point he can ask the King for a mandate and if he fails to get support there would be elections in 4 months.

After Rajoy got 14 more seats than in December, "even boiling water won't unstick him from the chair", as the Spanish idiom goes.
