    Fascists failed to get enough MPs to form a government.

    Good news in the world of Politics :):)

    But the fact the result of their election is very tight and inconclusive is very worrying.

    I think Pedro has something up his sleeve. No-one will want to play with PP other than Vox (hopefully!) :)

    It's much harder for the PP to form a government, only VOX will join in a coalition, the Basque and Catalan Separatists will have nothing to do with them. However, they will work with Podemos and have done before. My sister lives in Lanjaron and she says it's been party time over there today, they were dreading the hard right getting in.

    That's the downside to PR!

    PP/ VOX were favourites to get a majority so anything short of that has to be celebrated.

    Maybe, but it stopped PP/VOX this time. The real upside to PR is that it makes parties work together and moderates the extremes.
