Re: If ever there were a general election worth losing ...
I've been thinking through all these elections that the neocon opposition party was not doing enough to win, on purpose. And I still believe that. It is too clear that what is coming in Spain over the next years starting from now, is going to be a deep economic crisis, followed by a social crisis which is likely to have an ethnic taint.
No matter how well they could do to appease the crisis, it should take at the very least the two first years in term with the crisis at full scale plus another two years to recover. At the end of it, it would be the Liberal opposition who would be seen as the "party of the crisis" while the Socialists who brought it about would come clean to the eyes of people.
This way, if the crisis is as sharp as it is expected (worse than the 1992 crisis which was also brought about by the Socialists, according to national and international analysts), there is even the possibility that social unrest brings down the government before their term is over.
Interesting days ahead.
