Basque, Catalonian and Galician parliamentary election, 2012

[Zanas]

And what government could come out of that kind of results ?

Is the primary concern for forming majorities the national question or the centre-left spectrum ? I guess we're a bit in a Quebec-like situation

I didn't look into basque politics for a few years, and I didn't know about that Bildu coalition. If I gather this well, PNV is now more identified as right-wing as it had been in the past, and Bildu takes the left-wing place. Could PNV and Bildu have an agreement to rule together or is it just impossible ?

It has started then... What have they done, seriously...

Funny how the Catalan spokesman is called Homs while starting an administrative civil war... Or not.

[Zanas]

and he will be helped by some nationalist socialists.

I couldn't help but shudder reading this. It's strange to see these words associated in a kind of progressist context...

[Zanas]

Atlas Forum will do that to you... ;-)

Nadie viene aqui en el foro de elecciones internacionales de toda manera...

Y los que vienen hablan todos los idiomas, pues no molesta que hablen ustedes en español aqui en mi opinion.

Cual es la verdadera posibilidad de que Catalunya vuelva a ser un Estado mas de la Union europea ? Es seria la reivindicacion actual o es una manera de cambiar la relacion de fuerzas dentro del Estado español ? Del exterior no es muy facil decirlo o comprenderlo.

Qué tipo de coalicion estamos contemplando ahora en Euskadi ? Parece que el bloque PSE-PP-UPyD esta a igualdad perfecta con el PNV con 27 escanos, y en medio se situa EH Bildu con sus 21 escanos. No me parece facil ver cual sera el gobierno saliendo de estas urnas.

(For Sibboleth, I just asked what coalition could come out of those poll-boxes)

On what platform does the ERC stand these days ? I mean on independence and also on other subjects. At one time it was my chosen party in Catalonian politics, but I really don't know nowadays...

How would you say ERC is placed on the political spectrum as opposed to ICV and PSC. From what I can gather, and notwithstanding the independentism spectrum, they are somewhere in between those two, but closest to which ? I'll try and read the link you posted : I don't understand Catalan, but I can understand French, Spanish and somewhat Italian, so I should get a few things.
