But anyway, here, after any election, there is always pacting. Noone knows who they're voting for, because they all make deals after. Weird, there's a village down the road from here that has PP (right wing) in power, supported by the communists, to keep the socialists out. Admittedly, that's at local level, but national is the same. The PSOE currently have a tiny majority, but absolute power guaranteed by their various pacts. Whores, the lot of them. -- Paul.

It's one of those things that people think 'must be great', as it's different from what they have, whilst they don't have a clue about it. We have it, and also have (IIRC) six Arab MK who think it's a wheeze to take wages from the Israeli taxpayer, whilst toddling off to commemorate 'the Nakba'. -- des 'The Jews haven't attacked any Arab village, unless attacked first' (Ismayil Safwat, 'Palestinian' (sic) commander, March 1948)
