If Vigo, Coruña, Pontevedra and Santiago hold up, yes.

Convergence to exit polls although it seems PP will outperform the exit polls vote share even if it does not exceed exit polls in terms of seats.

Quite an underperformance for UP (EP) in Euskadi, especially in Gipuzcoa, but I guess vote utile for Bildu played in full, as we could expect from the final polls. Interesting that, for now, both PNV-PSE or PNV-PP would have majorities. But with this mandate, I guess PNV will govern in minority making deals on the way.

In Galicia, slight underperformance also for En Marea, barely topping PSOE in votes but on par in seats. PP actually strengthening their share from 2012, and C's a non-entity.

Podemos rips the agreement with the PSOE in Castilla-La Mancha

Any chance of Sanchez being ousted before a third election?

[RodPresident]

Basque Country (99.9%)
EAJ/PNV 29; EH Bildu 17; Podemos 11; PSE-EE 9; PP 9

Galicia (95.4%)
PP 41; En Marea 14; PSOE 14; BNG 6

Massive failure for anti-PP opposition. Problems inside En Marea between En Marea, Anova and Podemos barred a large breakthrough and Feijóo was able to separate from national PP.

Pedro Sánchez puts PSOE leadership to the vote:

Open war in the PSOE. The rebellion against Pedro Sánchez marks one of the party's darkest hours.

Catalan premier Carles Puigdemont undertakes the preparation of a "binding referendum" in 2017. The CUP (far-left, pro-independence) advocated an unilateral consultation as a pressure measurement on the regional government. Mr Puigdemont is facing a motion of confidence in the Parliament of Catalonia; likely he will pass it with the CUP support.

Meanwhile the PSOE is splitted in two and faces a dark future, embroiled in internal war and legal disputes.

Wait isn't Gonzalez a complete crook? Why does he still have influence within the PSOE?

Wait isn't Gonzalez a complete crook? Why does he still have influence within the PSOE?

Aside a crook, Felipe González is an historic leader and probably the most relevant figure of the democratic period begun in 1977. He served as PM from 1982 to 1996 and, with its lights and its shadows, his tenure was one of modernization of the country. The man is a living legend for many socialists and Pablo Iglesias made a mistake attacking him in the Congress of Deputies during the failed investiture of Pedro Sánchez. Even those socialists who don't side now with the friend of Carlos Slim and former PM are going to feel that an attack on González is an attack on PSOE.

Just a minor clarification, both for the Spanish speakers and for the rest. "Relevante" in Spanish does not have the same meaning as "relevant" in English. "Relevante" means "crucially important". "Relevant", of course, means "having something to do with". So, Felipe Gonzalez has, indeed, been a super-important player in Spanish history - not a somewhat obscure figure that may be suggested by the choice of the English word.

[Velasco]

I meant "crucial" or "important". "Relevant" is a false friend. Thanks for the clarification and sorry for the bad wording.

It seems that if there is a third election this winter and the PSOE is in the shape it is in today the PP should emerge with a majority by itself and Podemos  would become the main Leftist opposition party.  PSOE would be wise to make a deal with PP while there is till or else their leverage will go down from here.
