Spanish elections and politics III / Pedro Sánchez faces a new term as PM

[Former President tack50]

So who realistically, besides Diaz, can think about becoming new Podemos secretary?

Realistically? No one. It seems Podemos has opted basically for the "leader appoints his successor" kind of succession, much like how Rajoy was appointed by Aznar or Arrimadas by Rivera (even if Arrimadas did face a primary challenger)

If for whatever reason Yolanda Diaz vanished under mysterious circumstances, I guess the next most realistic successors might be Ione Belarra (Podemos' parliamentary spokeswoman, fairly generic imo) or perhaps Alberto Garzón (relatively high approvals and high name recognition, though knowing Podemos I don't know if they would go with another man in a row after Iglesias? They usually made it clear that the next party leader would be a woman)

[Velasco]

So who realistically, besides Diaz, can think about becoming new Podemos secretary?

Yolanda Díaz is a member of the PCE. She has never been a Podemos member, although she is a very close friend of Pablo Iglesias. Díaz left IU recently, due differences with the leadership of that organization. She is currently Deputy PM and Labour minister, besides the woman proposed by Pablo Iglesias to be the Unidas Podemos candidate in the next general elections. Given the strong influence of Pablo Iglesias within the UP space, besides her personal popularity, she will probably be elected candidate in a primary election.

As for the Podemos leadership,  I think Pablo Iglesias is thinking  a woman should replace him as well. It could be Irene Montero, but maybe there's some dark horse out there. The problem is the hyper-leadership of Pablo Iglesias has emptied his party of relevant personalities.

I think a reconfiguration of the space to the left of the PSOE is inevitable. That space includes UP (Podemos, IU), En Comú Podem (Ada Colau), Más País / Más Madrid (Iñigo Errejón and Mónica García), Compromis (Mónica Oltra) and Adelante Andalucía (Teresa Rodríguez). It's too early to say if there exists a chance for a confluence of these forces

[Velasco]

All hail the heir of Esperanza Aguirre and Sarah Palin, a phenomenon in her own. I corrected the figures of the blocks in the paragraph below

 https://english.elpais.com/politics/2021-05-04/popular-party-takes-victory-in-bitterly-fought-madrid-regional-election-falling-just-short-of-majority.html

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who until a few years ago was pretty much unknown on the Spanish political scene, today consolidated her position as a genuine political phenomenon. The conservative Popular Party’s candidate was the big winner at Tuesday’s Madrid election, having managed to secure more seats in the regional assembly than the three leftist parties combined. With 99% of votes counted, Ayuso had taken 65 seats, just four short of the absolute majority of 69. Combined with the 13 seats of far-right Vox, the two parties secured 78 deputies in total compared to the 58 of the leftist bloc: 24 for the Socialist Party (PSOE), 24 for Más Madrid and 10 for Unidas Podemos. At the last regional elections, in 2019, the difference between right and left was just four seats. Now that number is 20. Madrid has shifted even further to the right.  

National repercussions

 
The big question now is what consequences this spectacular result will have on the national scene. The president of the national PP, main opposition leader Pablo Casado, was the first to speak on Tuesday night from the balcony of the party’s headquarters in Genova street, in the Spanish capital. “Today Madrid has delivered a motion of no confidence against sanchismo,” he said, in reference to the PSOE prime minister, Pedro Sánchez.

From the PSOE, meanwhile, sources were keen to paint Madrid as an island, insisting that the region “votes differently from the rest of Spain,” and pointing to the terrible results that the PP has seen in Catalonia and the Basque Country in recent times. “This is a very important region, but it doesn’t represent the whole of Spain, as we have just seen with the PP’s result in Catalonia,” said José Luis Ábalos, the PSOE’s organization secretary, albeit with a face that reflected his party’s poor showing. “We have two years ahead of us to build the progressive alternative that Madrid needs,” he said, in reference to the next regional election, which will be held in 2023. “We will get to work,” he added, making clear that the party’s candidate, Ángel Gabilondo, will no longer be heading up that opposition.  

Political analysts concur the failed motion of no confidence in Murcia was the second biggest fiasco performed by Pedro Sánchez and Iván Redondo, after the electoral repetition in November 2019

 The snap election was called by Ayuso after the PSOE and Ciudadanos attempted a motion of no confidence in the Murcia region, in a bid to wrest power from the PP. Not only did the play fail, but it also caused a kind of butterfly effect that has ended with Ayuso’s victory in Madrid, bolstering the PP while at the same time completely absorbing Ciudadanos’s votes. What’s more, it will boost the confidence of the conservatives, who will trust that they can once again win a national election. “Uniting the entire center-right, Sánchez can be beaten. It’s game on. There is a future,” Casado stated. “Freedom has triumphed once more,” Ayuso added, to cheers of “freedom, freedom” from the crowd – a reference to her oft-repeated, and ultimately successful, campaign slogan: “Communism or freedom?”

Quite surprising to see Ayuso winning in left strongholds like Vallecas

how exactly did the Murcia no-confidence motion lead to Madrid getting a revote?

[Former President tack50]

Ok, so we now have some very interesting maps and analysis to do.

First up, some maps:

Election results by block and municipality

Precinct results map

Correlations between election results and demographics

And now my personal analysis

By block

As you may expect, this was a right wing landslide, no ifs, no buts. The right swept pretty much everywhere. The only places the left was able to win in were a handful of rural "white noise" towns, narrowly holding some (but not all!) of the traditional "red belt" (you know it was a bad night for progressives when places like Parla flipped or when Fuenlabrada was within 0.3%) and the usual set of south Madrid districts (Villaverde, Usera, Vicálvaro, the 2 Vallecas and Centro)

In terms of swings, the swings seem slightly bigger to me in left wing areas than in conservative ones, though I think this is just a byproduct of the right being maxed out in places like Las Rozas or Chamartín; not any sort of significant #trends. Of note is Fuenlabrada's 24 point swing! (from 63-37 to a tie). Though the swings do seem the largest in Madrid's traditionally left wing red belt though again I don't think this is significant or worrying just yet

As for demographics:

-Left wing areas are poorer
-Left wing areas have a higher % of people with little to no formal education
-Right wing areas have a higher % of people with college education
-Left wing areas had lower turnout rates
-Left wing areas had a slightly higher % of people born outside Spain


By party

Ayusoslide. Like we all know, she won basically everywhere, including even in Puente-Vallecas, Madrid's (and arguably Spain's) toughest challenge. PSOE was able to pick up 2 tiny towns; one in the southeastern corner and a rural village deep in Madrid's northern Sierra.

There was a very tight battle between MM and PSOE for 2nd place as you all know. The results are surprisingly mixed (I expected a stronger and clearer divide here) Looking around, it seems PSOE was stronger in the red belt, the rural southwest and southeast while MM was stronger in like urban areas? The working class areas of Madrid proper are surprisingly even (and MM even wins in most of them!) but as soon as you step outside Madrid city limits PSOE wins.

Vox is the only party that remained super stable, so the tool from the official website allows us to see that Vox got less votes this time around in Madrid city limits (sadly no district splits here) and in upscale areas to the west. Meanwhile, it got better results in the traditionally left wing "red belt" as well as rural areas. Very small swings all around, nothing too significant, but it is there I guess.

As usual, the gorgeous precinct map from eldiario.es

https://www.eldiario.es/datos/resultados-elecciones-madrid-calle-calle-consulta-gano-manzana_1_7900153.html

It's mostly a sea of blue, the few precincts that the PP lost, at least in the city, are exactly where you'd expect them to be: Lavapiés, Entrevías, Orcasitas, Covibar and Pablo Iglesias in Rivas-Vaciamadrid.

[Skye]

Of note is Fuenlabrada's 24 point swing! (from 63-37 to a tie).

Worth noting that Fuenlabrada's result during the 2019 Regional election was very much an outlier (and was maybe the result of coattails from the municipal election where the PSOE won in a landslide). The results in the municipality for both general elections in 2019 were single-digit wins for the left.

[Velasco]

Worth noting "Wall Street Wolverine " is a 'patriot' youtuber who fled to Andorra, in order to avoid paying taxes in Spain. Even Ayuso's tax haven is too much for him, apparently.  Recently "Wall Street Wolverine" became the laughingstock in Twitter, when he asked for the construction of a helipad in the nearby Seu D'Urgell, so he could go from Andorra to Madrid and visit his friends. Some people noted that "Wall Street Wolverine" was discovering why paying taxes is neccessary.

But this issue is more serious than it appears. Last weekend  I heard to someone who teaches high school students that youngsters trust these people.They watch the YouTube channels and hear all kinds of nonsense and barbarism without filter, because many people don't read books and don't get information from reliable sources

Disclaimer: I noticed there are some errors in the data the Community of Madrid provided. I double checked and the errors are also there in the eldiario.es interactive map. It's why there are 2 empty precincts (I think one just hasn't reported yet), and also some others that aren't immediately noticeable.

[Velasco]

how exactly did the Murcia no-confidence motion lead to Madrid getting a revote?

The motion gave a pretext to Isabel Diaz Ayuso, who was looking forward to break the coalition government and get rid of her partners. Just remember the PP got its worst historical result in the 2019 elections, but remained in power thanks to a coalition agreement with Cs and the outside support from Vox. The relationship between Ayuso and her coalition partners was strained since the beginning, pretty much like the relationship between pro-independence parties in Catalonia. Tensions aggravated with the pandemic and the state of alarm, both due to personal antipathy and the different strategies adopted by PP and Cs. Isabel Diaz Ayuso championed the most belligerent and confrontational stance against the central government, while Cs was seeking a more centrist and constructive approach. Madrid PP and Cs have also serious differences on specific health measures to fight the pandemic, as well there were serious issues with the management of the tragic situation in the nursing homes for old people. Cs managed rhe latter through the Social Affairs department, while the PP managed Healthcare. Apparently the protocol approved by the Healthcare department was rejecting the admission in hospitals of patients coming from nursing homes, which had thousands of dead due to the coronavirus. The issue is that Isabel Diaz Ayuso was performing well in the polls thanks to her policy of confrontation,  while Cs was in a situation of extreme weakness after the November 2019 catastrophic elections. Ayuso had the intent to call a snap election in 2020,  but Casado did not allow her to do so.

The motion of no-confidence in Murcia was a serious miscalculation for two reasons:

a) Because it didn't take into account the serious division existing within Cs on the centrist and cooperative approach of Inés Arrimadas,  nor the even more serious structural weakness of the orange organization. The PP had no problems in buying half of the Cs parliamentary group in Murcia's regional assembly.

b) Because neither PSOE nor Cs took into account that Isabel Diaz Ayuso was looking for a pretext to call a snap election, break the coalition government and destroy Cs. The surprise and perplexity of Ignacio Aguado when Ayuso announced dissolution were simply pathetic.

On a side note, I always remind you that Iñigo Errejón offered a way out of the block politics. Imagine that Cs had accepted the offer to govern in coalition with the PSOE,  propped up by Más Madrid.  The story would have been very different. When PSOE and Cs attempted to break the block politics in Murcia, it was simply too late and too poorly planned

Sadly they are growing in influence yeah; and I have not really found any sort of left wing competition in that area. Lots of people like Wall street wolverine and his friends with lots of views seem to dominate Spain's politics Youtube (though maybe this is a false impression, idk). I don't even find him the worst of the group tbh there are some that are even worse

— Socrates, approximately 400 BC

Seriously though, I really hate this kind of thinking. People weren't more informed about politics in the good old days just because they got all of their information from maybe a dozen Respectable™ national newspapers, two RTVE channels and the occasional politically-themed book. Like it or not, YouTube and social media are an important way of spreading political messages today - the most important way for people under a certain age. The solution isn't grumbling about how kids are idiots and we're all doomed, it's adapting to a new environment. As annoying and #problematic as the American (Anglophone?) BreadTube is at times, the thing is, it works. It spreads its message to a wide audience, raises awareness of issues and converts some people on the way, just like any at least semi-competent political current should.

I don't think it's possible to go back to the good old days, nor I believe that kids are idiots,  just said there exists a problem and it must be addressed.  There is much more information available nowadays than in the old times, that's obvious. The problem is that we are overwhelmed by massive amounts of all kinds of information, as well there is a great disparaty in quality and reliability. The only solution comes through education, which should provide kids the tools neccessary to develop crítical thinking and discriminate information.The adaptation to new and changing realities is complicated for teachers, but I know that they are trying hard. Last weekend I also heard that kids are responsive when teachers find attractive ways to transmit knowledge, as well as the pandemic is affecting kids emotionally and aggravating social problems in their environment. Anyway the influence of youtubers and social networks is not limited only to kids. Grown up people can be affected by infantilization.

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

It used to be that squeezing the self employed was safe, because the small restaurateur, the independent repairman and the taco stand guy had no influence. No corporate media outlet or state funded news anchor cares about the burdens of the state on those who have to file their own taxes. Except now that squeeze hits Youtubers who actually have some reach and naturally being exposed to the worst side of social democracy creates ultraliberals.

Ironically most left wing Youtubers are from countries where the self employed are comparatively pampered ie. the Anglosphere.

The results in the district of Centro (Madrid downtown) are curious. Leaving aside the PP's astounding increase, UP gained ground and MM had small losses in percentage (but more votes, due to turnout increase). This district includes the neighbourhood of Lavapiés, the Podemos birthplace. MM came first in most precincts there,  but apparently lost some ground to UP. Maybe some "Iglesias effect" (see Vallecas below)

PP 34.98 (+17 92)
MM 27.1 (-0.68)
PSOE 14.85 (-10.47)
UP 12.39 (+4.55)
Vox 5.86 (-0.13)
Cs 3.39 (-10.72)

Salamanca district results speak by themsrlves

PP 61.1 (+24.11)
MM 10.59 (+1.09)
Vox 10.35 (-1.29)
PSOE 9.77 (-6.83)
Cs 3.92 (-17.82)
UP 3.35 (+1.05)

Puente de Vallecas,  the leftwing stronghold. Note the UP increase here is also remarkable in comparison to MM. In the region as a whole MM increased 2.28 and UP 1.61

PP 27 52 (+15.55)
MM  23.64 (+0.73)
PSOE 23.43 [-12.47)
UP 14.56 (+4 89)
Vox 6.76 (+1.44)
Cs 2.27 (-10.14)

Some results in other districts and in towns outside Madrid municipality are also worth mentioning
