Spanish General Election 2011

What's Amaiur ?

7 seats out of nowhere ...

Yeah, of nowhere because the izquierda abertzale was ilegal

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Is the Amaiur victory related to the success of Bildu?

I love you Euskadi.

You bet. They're one and the same.

This sadly all proves that nobody on here reads my blog though!

[Niemeyerite]

Amaiur = Aralar + Bildu

[minionofmidas]

Your guide is too long.

[Tender Branson]

PSOE drops to just 109 seats ...

[minionofmidas]

67% in now. Looking pretty stable at ~187 to ~109. ~71% turnout.

[Colbert]

more minutes pass, more PP win. Strange...it's seems than urban votes goes to PP (urban votes are always the last opened)

[Tender Branson]

Turnout now approaching 72%, for a loss of 2%.

Los españoles nos hemos vuelto gilipollas.

If you could know how much I feel alone and strange before founding this site. Alone me and my love for electoral maps

leftists, rightists, libertarian and anothers, we are united by this passion

[Tender Branson]

If Sevilla could just go to the PP and Barcelona to the CiU, the map would look great ... !

[Antonio the Sixth]

Looks like polls were right after all...

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

The PP is nearly doing better than the PSC in Lleida and Girona, somebody get me out of this nightmare!

This is why you guys should all take more of an interest in economics. Economics dominates politics, election-wise.

With that being said, I'm going to say the opposite of what I said with Italy, because I want to look smart it's what I think: this could end up being good news, even if you oppose PP. Why? Because your bets are hedged. The PP will have a strong majority & mandate to do everything asked of it by the EU. Germany will not be able to say Spain did not put forward a strong effort, the ECB will not be able to say Spain did not try to reform itself. If the EU/ECB still refuses to help Spain after that, then we'll know who to blame. Second, if PP is successful, then the Spanish economy recovers and things turn around, which is good for Spain. If PP fails, PP will be discredited. Either way, it's a win/win. The only wild card is that the next elections may not get held for 4 years, so they will have a good amount of leeway to perform until we can judge their record.

Of course we can! We must never let facts intrude upon our worldview.

WHAT?

Oh, and it seems that Zapatero'08 will have more votes than Rajoy'12

[minionofmidas]

It's like their reluctant to add those last two precincts or so missing in Alava, just so no province is in completely. They've been at 99.4% counting for quite a while.

[minionofmidas]

WHAT?

As in, clean. Tidy. Of course, that one last plodge of red in Sevilla must (and will, safe to say now) remain. Barcelona might happen yet, I suppose, depending where the final precincts are.

the map is dirty, only sevilla and barcelona are clean.

No, Euskadi is clean as well. They remain the best region in the country, as always.
