This should be a fun one since I no longer identify with any major Spanish party!

2016: Democratic Convergence of Catalonia or Vox
2015: Democracy and Freedom or Vox
2011: Convergence and Union or People's Party
2008: People's Party
2004: People's Party
2000: People's Party
1996: People's Party
1993: People's Party
1989: People's Party
1986: Spanish Socialist Workers Party

That's as far as I'll go back. Gonzales had a big role in getting Spain to recognize Israel, so I'd support PSOE in '86.


Jose Maria Aznar is one of my favorite European leaders of the last two decades, so the People's Party would enthusiastically get my support from 1989-2000; PP would get my support easily in 2004 and 2008 (in opposition of Zapatero).

2011-Current, my opinion of PP slowly, but surely, declined. The mass corruption of PP, Spain recognizing Palestine in 2014, the collapse of any real ideology within the party and the complete joke that is the current state of spanish politics has completely turned me against PP. I firmly believe Rajoy should've resigned once it was clear that a new government would not be formed.

I sympathize with Catalonian frustration with Madrid and would support CIU/CDC/other variants of this alliance if I were a Catalonia resident. If not, I'd vote PP reluctantly in 2011 (without hindsight, it'd be an easy vote for them) and for Vox in both 2015 and in the upcoming 2016 elections.  

EDIT: Votes for CDC/CIU etc... are not an endorsement of Catalonian independence (I'm undecided), but more of a sympathizing statement and also a protest vote against Rajoy.
