     So it looks like the Social Democrats will see their best performance since 1991, but will still fall far short of 1991. Why exactly did the Socialists fall flat like this?

Austerity isn't exactly the most popular policy ever.

     People dislike austerity, so they reject the left for the right? That strikes me as...counterintuitive.

     What would be the effects of a common CDU-BE list?

The Portuguese electoral law prefers large parties and is rather bad for the little ones. With a common CDU-BE list they would have the chance to get more seats in Parliament.

If the CDU and the BE both get 7,5% each get 10-15 seats. In a commom list with 15% the get easy 35-40 seats

     Any specific reason they wouldn't form a common list, or is it just typical left-wing divisions?
