There were weeks of headlines regarding the far-right victory but did the centre-left made a resounding victory?
Did the people of Spain changed their minds and went with the centre-left?
The Socialist party members of Spain would have woken up with a big smile on their faces but their smile doesn’t mean a landslide victory for them.

They can add support from Basque and the Catalan parties.
Most Spaniards will not like that partnership as they are still heating from Catalonia’s defiant declaration of Independence.
The nationalist Vox Party got so many votes is due to the push of the Catalan independence and the failure of politicians to soothe the situation.
They made a promise to ‘make Spain great again’ a slogan that is familiar to the world. They have a tough stance on Islam, crime and immigration.
This party echoes with France’s Le Pen and Italy’s Salvini.
