You can resume breathing. The Spanish election results are in.
The Partido Popular, the major "conservative" party, has won the most seats of any other party but fallen short of a majority in the 350 seat House of Parliament. The PP did "defeat" the Socialists of the PSOE, winning more seats (136), and becoming the largest contingent in the Parliament, but will have a tough time gluing together a coalition to reach 176 seats.
The PSOE (122 seats) also will have rough time putting together a ruling coalition, and the regional independence parties already have signaled that they will not support the PSOE without a price.
The PP has called on the PSOE not to block the formation of a PP government despite the lack of a clear majority, noting that no party has ruled after losing an election. We'll see about that, but the "experts," the same ones who called the election generally wrong, predict a caretaker that will call for new elections before the end of the year.
Will the results be different?
We had a grand old time in a mountain top restaurant near the French border. The restaurant is owned by a Colombian and his British partner from the Falklands--never met a person from the Falklands before, and we had an interesting conversation about Colombia, the Falklands, and that the EU has now officially adopted the name Malvinas for the Falklands.
Anyhow, it's now raining like hell, and I hope to have a peaceful day with minimal activity.

ReplyDeleteWow.. did not know the EU went full-on malvinas.... was that in revenge for brexit?
ReplyDeleteThe EU is very good at lost wars.
DeleteThe forecasts of right wing victories seem to be coming up short. At least Netanyahu got his judicial reform passed.

The Brits sorted that Malvinas business out in 1982. Perhaps someone should tell the EU the result was not in favour of the Argies. But then the Brits have always been a constant irritant to mainland Europe that they have never managed to control.
ReplyDeleteFigure Argentina can just buy the Falklands, no? Their government prints infinity-money anyways, what could go wrong?
DeleteI don't know how hyper-inflative states like Turkey, Argentina and Lebanon continue to survive.
On the other hand, maybe Argentina can play this off, have Xi purchase the Falklands outright (from the trillion US dollars that Xi has stashed under beijing), in exchange for Argentina supporting Xi (err, I mean 'Putin' right?) in the Ukraine war.

Well I think we should start using "West China" instead of PRC and if I were a member of the European Parliament, I might actually believe that people took me seriously.

I think I've said this a thousand times.. if Israel, the US, others... are actually *serious* about preventing Iran from getting nukes, the solution has been quite simple for decades. Reduce their *oil* production and distribution infrastructure. Bombing nuclear plants is swatting the mosquito, removing their ability to produce/sell oil is removing the pools of stagnant water.
ReplyDeleteBut we don't do that because that will increase gas prices.... which means.. we're just not serious about preventing Iran from getting nukes. Let's just stop pretending that we are.
