So Puigdemont just ruled out an UDI because the pro-independence forces only got 48% of the votes in September, yet the procés goes on. Apparently because Catalans ought to decide once the Parlament has drafted a constitution or something lol. I really don't get them.

I think the independence movement's momentum is ruined and it will only go downhill from now on for them.

If I was the Spanish left (or even just a "reformist") I'd muscle behind a big unity ticket just for the senate to stop PP just grabbing it by default.
Yeah, but there's no "Spanish left". There are "Spanish lefts", and they are somewhat drifting apart rather than coming together.

Well congrats Podemos, you blew probably your only chance of having any meaningful impact.
I don't see how helping the corpse of a corrupt "socialist" party living on would be "having a meaningful impact", but maybe that's just me. SD parties in Europe need to DIAF.

The general trend seems to be UP opening a real gap ahead of PSOE, and slowly closing in on PP, while probably ending a bit too short. And C's are in danger of not even getting the 13.9 they got last time, and even if they do it won't matter cause the blocs above are bigger and this means fewer seats for them anyway.

Why is Rivas-Vaciamadrid a stronghold of the left?
Well it's the next city on the road after Vallecas, which has always been an organized labor stronghold, and also 3/4 of the city seem to be ecologically protected areas, so I guess it's the kind of mushroom suburb that will attract more bobo affluent eco-freindly families than suburbs like Majadahonda or Pozuelo de Alarcon in the West of the agglomeration.

I can't remember if someone has posted links to a good results page.

So, this is the Junta Electoral Central page.

I don't know if some newspapers' pages are better, quicker, if so please post a link.

I'll be attending a special evening organized by Podemos Paris to follow the results! Smiley Whether UP overtakes PSOE or fails miserably, I will most likely be drunk some time this evening...

This is the first election in quite some time when I am actually a bit enthusiastic about one of the options. It's getting rarer and rarer... Podemos and IU, with so different backgrounds, actually achieving to work together on a program and ballot repartition, you don't see that often and it gives a little hope. Let's see what's next and what the pueblo thinks !

The Madrid branch of IU tweeted this... "interesting" cartoon:

IU Madrid claims that the cartoon was not made by them as is conveyed to condemn "the role of Israel and the USA in geopolitics", and "in neither case to offend Jewish people". The cartoon features on top "Guerras No" ("No Wars") and calls people to demonstrate before the US embassy on July 10. President Obama is going to visit Spain and will land tonight in Seville. The Israel embassy claims that "the use of anti-semitic stereotypes infamous by their use in the blackest period of European History deserves the strongest condemnation" from "all the Spanish democratic forces".
At first I thought it was an Arab man and an Israeli man making out, which I found pretty cool ! Then it struck me and... it's not of very good taste...

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.

The person responsible for how the parties are ordered around this graphic by decreasing voting intention instead of, you know, the relevant stuff, should be fired, then shot.
