PSOE: Needs completely new leadership from people who had no role in the last government. Which is unlikely at this point. So, if there is to be a true, non-communist party of the left in Spain, it will probably have to be formed by the Indignados movement.
Indignados will never form any sort of political party, that´s not the aim of the 15-M movement. Anyway some people who have been involved seats in the Parliament right now; this is the case of Alberto Garzón, a young economist member of ATTAC and IU (United Left) MP for Málaga.
PSOE needs a complete renewal, indeed, but this is not easy to achieve. In the last party`s Congress the contesting candidates were former ministers. Rubalcaba won; he is very competent but had a protagonic role (Deputy Prime Minister) with Zapatero and had posts with Felipe González. Sometimes I think that people in Spain is too enthusiastic throwing experienced politicians to the waste bin but, well, maybe Rubalcaba is not the best suited person for future challenges. Nowadays I can only regard the young Basque MP Eduardo Madina but perhaps it`s too soon for him.
And, considering that PSOE is polling at 28% or probably more (that'd be a good percentage in other European countries, not in Spain, but it's still almost 1/3 of the voters) and has 140 years of History, I think it's a silly statement to say the 15-M will create a new party which will outplace PSOE. Of course, we need a renewal, but it's already happening in many villages, towns, communities... where we've elected new leaders.
Talking about Rubalcaba, he may not be the future of our party, and he may lose in 2015, but I find him to be the most competent politician around there... I believe Patxi Lopez, no matter if he loses or wins next year, will be our candidate in 2019 in the case we don't win in 2015.
