Is there any possibility that govt/His Majesty King of Spain will use army to secure Catalonia and beat up potential traitors?

The best solution is to divide Spain into Aragon and Castile in permanent personal union.

That is pretty sad that rampaging nationalism is going to win again.
Sorry for a little bit offtop but I was just curious if this is even possible for king to use army in case of rebellion.

Sorry, but the king cannot use the army. He's the supreme commander of the armed forces, but Spain is a constitutional monarchy and that title is merely symbolic: the Spanish government holds the executive power. On the other hand, sending the army would be the surest way to lose Catalonia. After the revolt in the XVII century there was a complicated conflict involving France and several battles, but Catalonia returned to Spain basically through negotiation... except the Roussillon and part of the Cerdagne, a patch of the Catalan Countries which was lost to the French neighbours.


Thanks for answer. I thought that at least in case of military king have anything to say.

It may be farfetched conclusion but I think that there is a place for multi-regional party which will be to the right from PP and serve as an eventual ally (Portuguese variant) for them.

For me Ciudadanos are rather centre-left not centre right. But that is the matter of different perspective probably.

El Pais were leading today with a story on Rajoy backing a PP-C's coalition, which I think is what put people off oranges. Why would you buy oranges only to realise they are filled with bland, tastless water?  

I'm going to go ahead and predict a PP minority government.


Thanks, I think I'll write a paper on the rise of post-nationalist parties, using FDF, Ciudadanos, D66. Any others like Ciudadanos in Europe?


I guess any liberal (both socially and economically) party in Europe. Like .nowoczesna in Poland. In published today poll by IBRIS they got... 30%. They increased their support by 20% during one month so I guess it is a rise. But this is special case, probably not connected with any global process.

I feel kinda sad that "pop" Podemos has such big support and old-school communists now have only 4% in polls. Eh, postpolitics :I

Orange water up.
PP+C = 159
PSOE+Pod = 156

Podemos has 69 not 62.

As for 66,78% counted they still have 62.
PP 123 PSOE 94 C's 36

That map on El Pais looks bad. Why people do such things. Worse than UK map made from hexes on BBC as far as I remember.

Eh, imagine if Sixtus Henry would be on the throne. I do not understand why Spanish people do not support Carlism : (( You even have that funny Maoist-Carlist party, for all those lefties who votes on PSOE or Podemos.
