Spanish elections and politics

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

Question: how close were PACMA to getting into parliament last election? They seem terminally unlucky in getting healthy results that are far too evenly distributed to get seats.

talking of animal rights, the Catalan bullfighting ban has been overturned

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Did psoe ... Get anything in the deal?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

so, err, who is going to be PSOE's leader now?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Rajoy may have topped "corruption? What does that have the economy?" with this fantastic analogy:

We should probably restart this thread tbh, as PSOE gets round to choosing a leader and the Catalonia crisis goes on and on.

People's Party proposal for electoral reform in Madrid to shift to a MMP system: http://imgur.com/kazeImb

How likely is electoral reform to pass?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

How are the podemos inspired mayors/local groups holding up in popularity?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

What is Lopez like?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Nah PSOE are too entrenched in the south.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Where do Colau, Carmena etc stand in the PODEMOS dispute? Perhaps if Sanchez really wanted to undermine Pablo, he could try and poach them  into his fold next eletcion?

You would not use the term roadkill. In English that world refer to dead animals struck by autos.

And this is all very terrible

The electoral system is constituency based, so there is no real threshold per se (I think there is a set threshold of three percent per constituency, but most of them are small constituencies with a higher effective threshold).

I'm going to pump for PACMA?

Also, the reason to oppose Diaz isn't just because of ideology, Bloomberg. The Southern barons are, erm, not good backers.

the worst part is the senate, which is the world's worst system: bloc vote. IMO the wisest thing to do though would be to try and run joint candidates on an "abolish the senate" platform.

That poll is most alarming for Podemos: Metroscopia typically overpoll Podemos and C's and under poll the old parties.

The left had better hope the Catalonia issue dies down and Spain gets to talk about actually important issues. (What is poverty and corruption? The only thing that matters is muh fleg!)

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

What is PACMA's stance on the union?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

If PP were to somehow drop out of the Catalan parliament entirely (lmao) could you get a C's-PSOE-Podemos alliance, or are C's too right for Podemos?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I was thinking that CUP are able to get away propping up a conservative party like CiU, or whatever they're called now.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

my boy Sanchez is hated by the people

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Why so much cheering for a ethnic-nationalist party?

Because Podemos, PSOE not under Susana Diaz, and PP suck. Also, I see a glimmer of hope for an Iberian En Marche!

Susana Diaz? The southern barons of the PSOE really aren't the Centrists you crave...

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Seeing as Iglesias is so unpopular, could he be ousted or persuaded to move on? Is Errejon still part of the party?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Are C's always going to vote with PP, or could they support a PSOE administration?

Also, I thought Podemos didn't exist at a local level, and they had all sorts of quasi-independent municipal lists theu sponsered?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

how are all the corruption cases going? I remember before Catalonia eupted as an issue, it very much looked like Rajoy himself would get caught up?

Well Rajoy still lead the PP by next election?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

What's with the mini Vox bump?
