So we've got a general election in #Spain today. Socialist PM Pedro Sánchez is the frontrunner, although it's not certain that he will be able to put up a ruling majority. Here's a thread with a few thoughts on #28A:

d) The conservative PP faces an assault on the right not seen since the UCD collapsed in the 80s
