Talk:2015 Spanish regional elections

Incomplete count

As it happens, a key autonomous community is missing, the Basque. Someone's help to fix the table appreciated. Iñaki LL (talk) 21:11, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

There is no regional election in the Basque autonomy in 2015. Impru20 (talk) 21:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

To be added

In the basque, the provincial level is directly elected (other Spanish provinces are indirectly elected by the municipalities), and these elections are on the same day as the municipal elections (and the regional elections elsewhere in Spain), see Spanish Wikipedia page.----Bancki (talk) 10:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Summary

My summary of the election results : almost all sitting governments lost their majority, only the CC+PSOE coalition (Canarias) can be continued. PP lost its majorities in Islas Baleares, Cantabria, Extremadura, La Rioja, Madrid, Murica and Comunidad Valenciana; in Castilla y León PP had a majority and retains exactly half the seats.

While in many regions many coalitions are possible to reach a majority, it will be interesting to see what coalition bargaining will bring in La Rioja, Madrid and Murica, where PP and C's can build a majority against PSOE and Podemos, and in Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura where PSOE and Podemos can build a majority against PP and C's. Will C's support PP against PSOE and will Podemos support PSOE against PP?----Bancki (talk) 10:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Now that the investiture votes on the regional government leaders are over (more details on those investiture votes in the 14 Spanish-language wikipedia pages):

In the six 'central' regions C's supported PP and Podemos supported PSOE, as predicted. (In Castillia y Leon, PP had exactly half the seats and was elected in the 2nd round when a plurality was enough, against PSOE, Podemos, IU and UPL while C's abstained.)

In three other regions similar coalitions appeared:

In Aragon, PSOE, Podemos, CHA and IU won over PP, PAR and C's.

In Balears, PSOE, Podemos, Més, MpM and GxF won against PP and C's while PI abstained.

In Valencia, PSOE, Compromís and 8 out of 13 from Podemos won against PP and C's. 5 members from Podemos abstained (8 Podemos-members voting in favor was enough for the coalition to reach the majority of 50/99).

In four regions there were more complex arrangements:

In Asturias PSOE and IU won over PP and Foro Asturias while Podemos and C's abstained.

In Canarias, CC, PSOE and ASG won against PP, Podemos and NC.

In Cantabria, PRC and PSOE won against PP and C's while Podemos abstained.

In Navarra, Geroa Bai, EHBildu, Podemos and I-E won against UPN and PP while PSOE abstained.

Table

3 parties is not enough to give an accurate summary of the election. Each autonomy's election page show up to 6, and the same should be here. The results of C's, while modest in comparison to Podemos, help explain the crash of PP's as there is a new party fighting for the center-right vote at a national level. IU's diminished results because of Podemos' entry should also be shown, given its history as Spain's traditional third party.--Menah the Great (talk) 14:02, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

I know; I just didn't add them because I haven't calculated the overall results for other parties yet (not even the percentages for PP, PSOE and Podemos) as I don't have much time now. You can add them at your leisure. Impru20 (talk) 21:13, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
