Re: Pedro Sánchez announces General Election for Sunday 23 July

Yep, *21* years ago he got the minimum sentence, equivalent to being bound over to keep the peace for 12 months, Since then he has kept a clean sheet and clearly forgiven by the voters.

You clearly have an issue with Carlos Flores! Just to correct you, he DID NOT serve time for malos tratos, and was never even accused of wife beating! In his divorce proceedings of 2001, he was given...

Let me put this to you. We are in a general election campaign, so parties are trying to persuade the doubting voters. Someone like yourself is a "lost cause" for VOX, but by some of these...

Re: Pedro Sánchez announces General Election for Sunday 23 July

The problem is that Spain has seen the catastrophic effects of PSOE's solo si es si feminist policy. Well over 1000 paedophiles, wife beaters, rapists got reductions in sentence with over 100 getting...

No Irene Montero in the end. After the Sanchez interview yesterday that's not too surprising when she was hung out to dry totally. She would have been the political punchbag of the elections taking...

Re: The end of Spam phone calls?

Old saying "puesta la ley, puesta la trampa" also "hecha la ley, hecha la trampa". Basically, as soon as you make a law, someone finds a way round it. Legislation might reduce, but I doubt will ever...

And of course, if you read the VOX 12 point agenda, that's not the party position either, is it?

Maybe, but the Spanish also have clear that voting PSOE you end up with tripartite control between BILDU, ERC and Podmos/SUMAR republicans. Welcome to coalition politics where there is no broad...

Re: Water restrictions

The average consumption per inhabitant is generally around 120 litres, and obviously water meters give a quick and simple way of getting consumption figures. So a limit of 200 litres per head is not...

Re: Pedro Sánchez announces General Election for Sunday 23 July

It always seems to me that the "poll of polls" is the only way to get any sense out of the various polls. It tries to smooth out the editorial bias that otherwise exists. Still, a lot of mud can be...
