Kejan Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Rajoy's party absolutely pumped rotten. Looking at about 4-5 seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even had a Spanish political ‘expert’ on saying turnout is down from the last election because the last one was on a holiday. Is it down to sheer ineptitude?

Every time I hear of BBC bias I go straight to the website and find it isn't true. If you can find a link to what you heard I'll gladly consider it. BTW here's a tweet from pro-independence Catalan News earlier on. Sometimes the available facts change. https://twitter.com/catalannews/status/943824249353097216 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly what they are reporting online is different (accurate) from what they reported late afternoon on radio today. I realise news moves quickly and that I have no evidence other than what I heard with my own ears but many other people will have been listening to radio Scotland around that time as well. I find it strange that we’re so accepting of how poor our pubically owned broadcaster is. Edited December 21, 2017 by Londonwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Considering the pro indy parties were basically denied the right to do any campaigning and the leaders are in jail/exile thats a pretty solid result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 We’ll get a further indication of Rajoy’s character quite soon. Whilst the result is inconclusive it is definitely a rejection of his party and his approach. Will he take a conciliatory approach or try to bully his way through? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the BBC was predicting 40-50% total turnout then they were spectacularly wrong to the point where you suspect something's amiss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
