The Unidos Podemos coalition could get a big win in Spain and consecrated as hegemonic force left the country in general elections on Sunday, triggering a new shock for European traditional parties after Britain voted to leave the European Union.
the Spanish political parties failed to form a government after the December elections, which ended 40 years of alternation power of the Popular Party (PP) and the Socialist Party (PSOE) with stable majorities, with the emergence of new formations that channeled the anti-sentiment following the economic crisis and corruption scandals.

Opinion polls predict that Congress will emerge from this new election will be as fragmented as above, with four major forces and six small parties represented in a chamber of 350 deputies.
According to the Constitution Spain , the president is elected by the deputies. For them this election is key, since whoever has the majority may decide the investiture of the next head of government.
As happened in December, none of them will be close to a majority to govern alone. Polls still predicting that the Popular Party will be the most voted on Sunday with around 120 deputies, while the liberal Citizens, the other emerging force, would get about 40 seats.
The sum of both would leave far from an absolute majority of 176 seats. However, the joining of forces of the two parties located further to the left on the political spectrum Delivering Podemos, which is formed by anti-austerity party Podemos and the United Left could, in theory, unlock the situation.
It is expected that States can get about 90 seats, which added to the nearly 80 that could achieve the PSOE, would place it near an absolute majority and could even form a government in minority.
