Sunday's Spanish General Election sees that country increasingly polarised, with castellaños moving to the right (partly in response to the Catalan crisis), leading to the rise of Vox and Ciudadanos further hardening their position, while the left will require a high turnout in both the Basque Country and Catalonia if Pedro Sanchez is to remain as Prime Minister. Though official polling has been banned since Monday, "illegal" surveys continue, and today's seat projections suggest both blocs will require backing from the Basque and Catalan parties to secure a majority:
Right: 166 (PP 77, Ciudadanos 53, Vox 36)
Left: 151 (PSOE 107, Podemos 44)
Nationalists: 33 (Catalans 19, Basques 9, Valencians 3, Navarre 2)
Right: 166 (PP 77, Ciudadanos 53, Vox 36)
Left: 151 (PSOE 107, Podemos 44)
Nationalists: 33 (Catalans 19, Basques 9, Valencians 3, Navarre 2)
