Spain and electoral reform necessary – Milenio.com

After the election last June 26 in Spain to form the House, which has as its primary task to elect the next head of government, which turned a majority Popular Party, characterized by its ideology right together with another political force, citizens.

the right won a victory with important advantage to carry out the investiture ceremony, where appointing the President- however, the nature of the parliamentary model Spanish, it does not have to define simple majority smoothly to the next executive, or contemplating their electoral allies. That is, you still have to convince opposition lawmakers or they abstain and thereby ensure the investiture of Mariano Rajoy.

The same scenario we had in December 2015 when the Popular Party (PP) He won a majority in the polls, but most of the votes to the leftist coalition put them ahead. We recall that the left by the PSOE and we could not agree and consolidate a progressive government.

The left could not to agree to govern Spain, seems to put agreed not let not rule on the right. . Bent on popular support that legitimizes defined not support Rajoy

The PSOE through its candidate Pedro Sanchez will establish communication with all representatives left the country to reach a consensus; however, they have advanced that will not support Rajoy to continue.

Failure to reach an agreement between Rajoy and Sanchez and Pablo leader of Podemos Iglesias, to carry out the investiture could spend the same as in December, extended the period and convene a third election.

the political, economic, social wear this represent for Spain would be very great, since citizens who pay the democracy that apparently is being relined. He would have to be a review and reform as time electoral competition as close as the last few years is not functional, perhaps worked when he was a strong bipartisanship, today the Spanish democracy has matured and should it make its electoral system . a modification of the method of proportional representation and a runoff to ensure stable majorities through the popular will and not of supporters agreements is needed.
