Looks like PP over-performing exit polls in  Galicia so far

If Vigo, Coruña, Pontevedra and Santiago hold up, yes.

Spain was doing so well without no government. Just kidding. Wink

Finally, the PSOE gain some good sense. Going to a third election would be suicide.

I do wonder when exactly will Rajoy's leadership of the PP end. Surely he can't go further than this term, right?

With a person as hermetic as Rajoy you can never be sure, but I think his original plan was to be at the head just two terms. Also, the fact that he survives cannot hide that the Popular Party is in need of a comprehensive refurbishment (and not in the style of the  refurbishment of the Génova Street HQs, funded with black money). Maybe Rajoy could try to place a successor in this upcoming legislature, who knows.

Spain was doing so well without no government. Just kidding. Wink

Finally, the PSOE gain some good sense. Going to a third election would be suicide.

Spain was fine. No joke. The hard times are going to begin just now, with the harsh budget cuts demanded by the European Commission. The PP government -otherwise a champion of austerity- failed in the fulfillment of deficit targets, because 2015 was an election year and the government approved certain tax reductions.

I thought that suicide and good sense were antithetical, but it's just me Wink

The "just kidding" was that you cannot be without a government for a very long time. But also because, here in Portugal, we joke that the solution to our dying economy is to have no government at all, just look at Spain. Wink
But you're right, although Spain is growing 3%, one of the strongest showing in Europe, now the EU is going to demand a deficit bellow 3%, it's going to be tough.

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

You must be logged in to read this quote.

We should probably restart this thread tbh, as PSOE gets round to choosing a leader and the Catalonia crisis goes on and on.
I agree. Adding to what you said Crabcake, El Mundo newspaper is reporting that Rajoy doesn't have support to approve the budget in Parliament. Rajoy may actually be the luckiest politician in the world currently. If his budget isn't approved, probably another election may have to happen and with the PSOE leadership still very fresh and Podemos is complete civil war, Rajoy and the PP can simply say to the electorate: "they don't present an alternative, they don't let me govern the country. Had enough?".

That's true Rogier, although Spanish polls aren't very reliable. But the point i was stretching is that there is no alternative, at the moment, to Mr. Rajoy. Trying to block him could be counterproductive. Remember the 2016 election.

This hole Murcia scandal is what has stained the relations between the PP and C's. The C's wants the current President ousted and a new PP president sworn in or new elections. All of this because of the PP money schemes. If an election is held again in Murcia, polls show there would be a repetition of the 2015 election results.

Do you know who is going to run for the PSOE leadership, apart from Susana Diaz? Is she the favourite?
Pedro Sanchéz, former PSOE leader, and Patxi Lopéz, former president of the Basque Country. At the moment polls are favouring Sanchéz and Lopéz. Susana Diaz is polling in third place, perhaps because she is delaying and delaying her announcement.

But i wouldn't read to much the polls. In 2014 Sanchéz was behind, but close, to Eduardo Madina and he end up winning by more 12 points. It will be an interesting race to watch as two moderate PSOE leaders face Sanchéz who wants an approximation with Podemos.

I don't think that later polls indicate that PP is losing ground to C's.

I believe he was referring to the Metroscopia poll from last Saturday, which has the following numbers (compared with the poll from January):

31.2% ( -2.0%) PP
21.5% ( -0.2%) UP
19.0% ( -0.1%) PSOE
16.5% (+1.0%) C's

I agree with you on Metroscopia. Comparing with other polling firms, they are overpolling C's and in the past they overpolled heavily the PSOE. I think they were the only pollster to put the PSOE ahead of PP during the 2011-2015 legislature.

Personally i follow 3 polling companies in Spain: Celeste-Tel, NC Report and CIS. For me, these 3 are the most accurate. And speaking of Celeste-Tel, they just released a new poll, and it has completely different results in comparison with Metroscopia:

35.6% (+0.2) 148/150 PP
22.1% (+1.0)     80/83 PSOE
19.3% ( -0.2)     65/66 UP
12.1% (+0.1)     26/28 C's
  2.8%                     10 ERC
  1.6%                       7 PDC
  1.2%                       5 PNV
  0.9%                    2/3 Bildu
  0.3%                       1 CC
  4.1%                          Others

NC Report poll for La Razón newspaper:



Poll conducted between 13 and 17 March. Polled 1,000 voters. MoE of 3.1%

The PP is highly overrated in this poll. This poll has 58.5% turnout... For Spanish levels that's very low and probably not very accurate. But put it in the average.

as "semi-local" mike said, could be an outlier but at some point, i guess, the PP is going to become strong enough cause all other options are more difficult.
Indeed. There are two important political question at the moment. The first is the budget. Spanish media have been saying that negotiations for this year budget are shaky and that Mr Rajoy doesn't know how it's going to end. The other one is the longshoreman crisis. Spain may have to pay a big fine to the EU if it doesn't solve the situation. C's abstained in parliament vote about this and the PP law failed. Don't know if this will have an impact in C's voting numbers. Let's see what happens.

Susana Díaz presented today her candidacy for the PSOE leadership. In a rally in Madrid attended by more than 7,000 people and by many high profile PSOE leaders like Felipe Gonzaléz, J R Zapatero and others, Díaz said she wants put the PSOE back in the Spanish government and also achieve reforms and pacts with the PP and refuses that the PSOE should "imitate" Podemos.

The CUP, Candidatura de Unidad Popular, a far-left anti capitalist party, tried to occupy the headquarters of the PP Catalonia in Barcelona. The youth wing of the party, barricaded themselves in front of the PP headquarters and tried to get in. The goal of the protest was to demand a referendum of Catalonia Independence.

The spokesperson of the party and lead figure in the party, Anna Gabriel, went to the scene to support the protest.



Regardless of their positions, these kind of acts are shameful. Sad
