Dec 2015

wouldn't that put the conservatives back in power? After all, a large chunk of Podemos will simply walk away, free of Spanish domination, but leaving the rest of its party in the lurch...

...on the other hand, should the new parties do a good job of reorienting Spain, independence might not be as attractive, anymore. After all, there's a lot of initial pain and expense and infrastructure building involved...

which future looks more probable?
