[Double Carpet]

Official results will appear here:

Does anyone have a link for streaming TV coverage online that won't be geoblocked?

Thanks!

ok, found this:

RTVe 1 seems to be geoblocked?

Gut feel but may be wrong:

Wouldn't be surprised if exits have understated PP and overstated Podemos compared to final result.

So PP minority govt with conf & supply from C's plus one or two nationalists may be possible.

Assuming seats similar to Dec 15, what do people think the new government will be?

[Double Carpet]

So, PSOE could either join Podemos-led govt, or grand coalition with PP? Latter less likely?

Also ERC projected 11-12, would they back UP-PSOE gov, or does Catalonia issue get in way?

Iglesias to follow Tsipras as Europe's 2nd radical left PM?

PNV projected 5-6.

PP + C's well short so only governing option for PP is with PSOE?

I think official results site gets going in 1 hour once Canaries close?

Thoughts welcome, thanks!

Official vote count is here, will go live at 9pm Spain time once Canaries have closed:

Count has now lit up - it's PP 133, PSOE 94 on the 1st show - so Podemos may not finish 2nd...

Note there are several Podemos lists on the official site.

Spain counts at polling stations (like most countries), which is why it's so fast - but even allowing for that it's faster than most other large countries.

Austria and Denmark also count quickly but are obviously much smaller.
