Spanish liberals in a flap

The writing has been all the wall since Ciudadanos joined a three-way pact in Andalusia with the Partido Popular and far-right party Vox to end decades of socialist rule. Knowing they had perhaps taken a gamble, Ciudadanos were quick to state that they had entered into a pact with the PP but not Vox. Sorry, it did not wash; they were either in the pact or not. Then Spain held a round of general, local, municipal and European elections and Ciudadanos fared quite well. They were in fact secretly hoping to be invited to the top table and form a socialist-liberal coalition government. That did not and will not happen and now, in the wake of Ciudadanos continuing to flirt with Vox, the party is in turmoil.
