Spanish elections and politics

[Upsilon]

The biggest problem is that the catalan are necessarily in the opposition... This make the formation of any government impossible (except grand coalition).

The catalan supported Aznar then Zapatero but now it's an old story...

And why not a minority government like in Ireland, with a sort of pact where the main opposition party abstains on the budget during 2-3 years ?

Just a comment...

If Podemos and Ciudadanos wouldn't exist, and if we would give the number of seats they obtained in this election to PSOE and respectively PP, we would have exactly the same problem to form a government with the traditional bipartisan system !

The problem doesn't seem to be the end of bipartisan system, but the fact that the catalan parties wont's support any government... If they have the balance of power, and this is the cas now, nothing can be done.

In fact, they have almost always had the balance of power except in the 2000 and the 2011 elections, so nothing new, except that these parties are now unacceptable. ("infréquentables" in French)

So we can say that the problem of governability of Spain relies essentially on the catalan parties and the catalan problem.
