The result is too close to call. The Balearics are on full May local election mode and not even the bravest commentator is prepared to make a bet on the outcome. In the red corner there is the socialist-led coalition of Francina Armengol who has been in power for eight years. In the blue corner is the centre-right Partido Popular, now in opposition, who are bidding for power. Alone it is very unlikely that the Partido Popular will be able to secure enough votes to form a government but in coalition with the far-right Vox party, then a change in government becomes a real possibility.
Election time
The war of words will continue and it is set to be a real intriguing election campaign

Yes, it will be close, but it appears we'll be trading one halfway sensible leadership with a decent track record, complete with loudmouthed extremist nut job coalition partners, who will likely lose the election for the entire lot over their ideological brainlessness... ... for another halfway sensible leadership from the "other" tribe with a bit lesser track record, also complete with a loudmouthed extremist nut job junior coalition partner who will probably lose the following election for the entire lot over their ideological brainlessness. So, who cares what tribe they're from? They're much the same.
