Spain is not happy. Even on the left there are voters and supporters who are not best pleased that the prime minister cut a deal to return to power with the pro-Catalan independence party Junts, whose leader Carles Puigdemont is, or was, considered a political outlaw after he fled Spanish justice in 2017 and is still living in Waterloo, Belgium avoiding arrest on returning to Spain.

Morgan WilliamsHang on a sec. If you are British and have lived here for quite some time, how are you going to vote if you haven’t got the faculty to vote ? Holland is a democracy, as is Argentina. Face the facts, and let them get on with it. You are no one to critize their judgement.
Howling ? Isn’t your comment one long one ?
Yes, the left can be just as conniving as the right. That's why I refuse to subscribe to either tribe. Just tell me verifiable truths, consider carefully any legislation, think through it, be rational, and you'll get my vote, no matter what tribe you belong to. But the right ...everywhere... has increasingly been going off the rails. I don't agree with many things the left does (especially the far left), but at least they're not going off the rails (and the leading lefty parties tend to keep the fringe far left nutter coalition partners away from the cookie jar). Yeah, they're largely boring, technocrats, stumble a bit... But they're not *dangerous*. And they actually do get a few things right. And they don't tend to attempt to shove everything off the cliff just to show how tough they are. Then look at Trump.. Vox, AFD... (I need not mention the recent parade of PMs in the UK) and NL's new fuhrer.. Geert Wilders. Off the rails, this lot. Destined to screw everything to bits for tribal ideology. No sensibility, no nuance. Just howling at everything (even stuff that doesn't actually exist) and making enemies of everybody. That's not going to help anyone, regardless of who might be gullible enough to buy it (and vote for it). But again, even with that as a backdrop, just tell me verifiable truths, consider carefully any legislation, think through it, be rational, and you'll get my vote, no matter what tribe you belong to.
