Today PSOE will have the numbers. In a democracy it is better to have different parties ruling than just one, it is more representative of the population.

The Catalan seperatists are a very small minority of the national votes, and is not representative of the Spanish population. The most logical thing to do in this situation would be coalition between PP and PSOE, but then pedrito wouldn't be the president would he?

The problem of PP is the coalitions with VOX (the far far right party).

PP wanted to form a coalition with PSOE, not VOX. (mostly because they still don't have a majority over PSOE's coalition even with VOX)

[–] supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nope, PP prefer to go with VOX better than PSOE, and no other party want anything with VOX, which is normal.

PP is not interested in VOX because a coalition with VOX would not guarantee them a victory, they definitely would form a coalition if it did though, no doubt in that. Feijoo has asked Sanchez multiple times before and after the elections to form a coalition.
