      The entire point of the parliamentary system is to create room to talk. It’s right in the name.

        PP has more votes than PSOE. PP should have the main role in a coaliton with PSOE, the second place. Instead, PSOE has made a megacoalition with regionalist parties that do not represent the rest of the country in order to remain in power.

          The PP had the first few weeks after the elections to gather the numbers, but no one wanted to make a coalition with the PP except VOX (far-right party). It’s normal that the other parties did not want to have anything to do with it.

            Even with PP and VOX, PSOE’s coalition has more seats in total. PP wanted to form a coalition with PSOE, it’s PSOE that rejected it because then Feijoo would be the PM and not Sanchez

                Again, it isn’t ethical and should be changed.

                    democracy is when we vote for rich people that don’t care about you to do stuff and maybe it’s not that bad but then the rich people we vote for don’t actually become the president
