El Pais has a helpful graphic of possible coalitions (top right of the home page)
The only likely grouping that clearly exceeds the 176 needed for an absolute majority is what they call PSOE + UP + INDEP. + NO INDEP, which manifests its internal conflicts on its face. PSOE + UP + INDEP gets to 174.
Hovering over the relevant bar gives you the components of each grouping.

With less than 1.5% remaining to be counted, the left gets another seat that puts PSOE + UP + NO INDEP within one seat of an absolute majority.
The PSOE has also won an absolute majority in the Senate, with 123 of the 208 seats.Last edited by ursus arctos; 28-04-2019, 22:01.

Sorry, I was going off of the El Pais graphic, which only reflects elected seats.
The PSOE has 18 of the appointed ones, so that gets them to 141 of 266 (with 88 percent counted).Last edited by ursus arctos; 28-04-2019, 22:30.

PSOE will not pact with Cs. My guess is that there will be no formal pact and that they'll rely on Podemos and other small parties (including the independence ones when the legislation is not too controversial) to get their policies through. The right wing parties certainly do not want another election so soon,

Most Socialist gains came from previous abstentions and Podemos, while PP votes leaked in equal proportion to Vox and C's:

Catalan and Basque suspicions can only increase, as the highest Vox percentages in Madrid occurred in a Guardia Civil station and a military base:

And this is glorious for fans of both maps and political analysis - results down to the micro-level for all of Spain.

That is indeed excellent. Vox seem to be very popular in Murcia and around Almeria and Avila.
Actually, when I zoomed in it became apparent that there were quite a few areas where they were the most popular party.Last edited by Nocturnal Submission; 02-05-2019, 20:11.

Probably more likely to be locals upset by the influx of foreign workers than those employing them and profiting from their labour, I'd have thought.
