Re: About Spain's election
Actually, the Socialists have won 169 seats, not 170. Seven seats short of being able to form a government without support.
That support may come in the exact number from ERC (Catalan Republican Left, 3 seats), IU (United Left, Communists, 2 seats), and BNG (Galician Nationalist Bloc, 2 seats). The support won't come without substantious deals offered to the Catalan and Galician Left independentists. IU might resent having lost a large support to the Socialists, in these elections.
The Liberals (not Conservatives) have won 154 seats.
