The PSOE is polling extremely well for a governing party in a country with 17% unemployment. However, that also has a lot to do with the PP being a Franquist party and Spanish politics being so polarized between left and right nowadays.
Yea come on. I see this PP being a franquist party bs being spouted around here all the time. They were in power with an absolute majority a few years ago. What "franquist" policies did they adopt then? The left here does the same thing all the time, saying perfectly mainstream right-wing parties are Salazarist, not because they are, but because they like to dig up ghosts of the past to rally their bases that are still living in 1975.
