Went and watched part of the show by the Village People at the San Sebastian "jazz" festival. Pretty good crowd on the beach watching the, frankly, kind of boring show. Every song sounded the same, and everybody was there for one thing: YMCA! It was the last song, and the Euro youth went wild. BTW, a well-behaved crowd, no fights, no trash, and regardless of from whence they came, they all spoke English. Pretty impressive on all counts.
Anyhow, Spain's national elections take place this Sunday, July 23. The opposition is up in arms over the date, given that the 25th is a national holiday, and most people seem to be traveling or making plans to travel. That will, it seems, keep the voter turn-out lower than usual, something which the opposition suggests will benefit the unpopular socialist government now in power.
There will also be widespread use of mail-in ballots, something about which Spaniards have a great suspicion. Despite all that, the pundits and my highly unscientific interviews suggest the socialists (PSOE) will lose their government to the conservative Partido Popular and its various allies.
We'll see.
I have been invited to an election night dinner with a gaggle of friends and relatives from all over the political spectrum to watch the returns. Might be fun.
I will report developments. I am sure you can't wait.

..."Whereas for the left, the pendulum swings back and forth — for the old-school centre-right (which is rotten to the core, and held in contempt by its own voters) the battle is existential — the new movements (eg Vox, in Spain) are in the process of replacing them."

"Let's Roll"
We’ll be watching the outcome from Galicia. Pizza on the menu tonight as the results come in.
ReplyDeleteWait... you're not going to vote?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, you entered Spain with *permission*. Foreigners only get to vote in an election if they skip the border.
You're going about this american-reconquista all wrong!

By " Right" assume conservative not Ardent Nazi as the Communists like to use. And European " conservatives are usually somewhere around Socialist Lite to hard Democrats.
ReplyDeleteCorrect?
Living in UK, the nest of neo-Marxists that comprise the BBC insist on calling Vox "far-right" and always referencing Franco in the same sentence. Far as I can see, Vox is merely worried about Spanish identity being destroyed by uncontrolled third world immigration and weird woke causes and wants to put the Spanish people first.
ReplyDeleteGo Vox! If I was Spanish, I'd be voting for them.
Well the results are in and anyone hoping for change will be disappointed. Neither side has enough seats to form a government but the actual prime minister (or president as he likes to refer to himself) has the best chance.
ReplyDeleteI won’t return till “Ladies and Gentlemen” are once again used at internet job, though. (016) Florida is a conservative common sense state where the majority of residents are intelligent.
