The centre-left Castilian Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) bring emerged every bit the primary winners inward yesterday's national election inward Spain. The political party took 28.7% together with won the most seats (123 seats, an increase of 38 seats from 2016). The biggest losers were the corruption striking centre-right People's Party (PP), who lost close one-half of their voters. The PP alone managed to win 66 seats (down from 135 seats inward 2016).
You tin dismiss explore the results for yourself on El Pais' 2019 General Election map. The map reveals that the PSOE were pop throughout much of the province together with that the PP lost votes nearly everywhere, merely most dramatically inward the S together with due east of the country. The PP were the most successful political party inward the terminal election inward 2016, withal the political party has been damaged yesteryear corruption scandals together with yesteryear its treatment of the Catalan independence issue.
Last calendar week El Pais published an interactive map of the 2016 Castilian Election. The icon inward a higher house shows the 2016 (left) together with 2019 (right) election maps side-by-side. This map clearly shows how the PP lost dry reason throughout primal Kingdom of Spain together with how the PSOE has spread from its traditional southern stronghold to capture most of Spain.
The autumn of the centre-right PP also resulted inward a rising inward seats for the centre-right Citizens political party together with the far-right Vox party. The Citizens political party won 57 seats (a rising of 25) together with for the offset fourth dimension Vox picked upward 24 seats (0 seats inward 2016).
Despite the huge rising inward back upward for the centre-left PSOE they soundless rest brusk of the 176 seats they withdraw for a working majority. The political party volition thus withdraw to rely on the back upward of the Unidas Podemos political party (42 seats) together with about of the smaller regional together with nationalist parties to class a government.
After the midterm the U.S.A. elections terminal twelvemonth many interactive maps used directional arrows to visualize the swing inward votes towards either the Democrats or the Republicans. El Diaro has created a similar directional arrow map for the 2019 Castilian election which shows where Kingdom of Spain has moved to the left or correct since the 2016 election.
If y'all click on the 'Por Bloques' tab inward a higher house the El Diaro interactive map together with so pick out the 'Variación sobre 2016' map y'all tin dismiss stance an arrow map showing where the vote swung left or correct inward this election. The map reveals a huge swing to left-wing parties inward the north-west regions of Spain, along the Mediterranean coast together with inward Madrid. There seems to bring been a swing to right-wing parties inward the S of Spain, merely these swings look rattling small-scale compared to the larger swing to the left elsewhere inward Spain.
The alone map I tin dismiss notice which provides a breakdown of where people voted for the extreme correct Vox political party is on Reddit. This map shows the percent of votes shape for Vox inward each constituency expanse (you tin dismiss stance the percent of votes shape for all of the parties inward each constituency on Wikipedia).
The 2 dots underneath Kingdom of Spain on the map are the 2 Castilian autonomous cities of Ceuta together with Mililla, both of which are situated on the N coast of Africa. Cueta recorded the highest percent (24%) of the electorate voting for Vox inward the whole of Spain. Melilla recorded the 4th highest percent vote (16.9%). Kingdom of Morocco believes that sovereignty of Ceuta together with Melilla should last transferred to Morocco. This may last 1 argue why voters inward the 2 cities voted inward such high numbers for a nationalist political party similar Vox. Other constituencies which voted inward higher percentages for Vox than the residue of Kingdom of Spain were: Alemeira (19.2%) together with Murcia (18.6%) on the south-east coast, together with Toledo (16.9%) together with Guadalajara (16.5%) inward the Castilla–La Mancha portion of Spain.
The areas which showed the to the lowest degree back upward for Vox are all inward the Basque Country together with Catalonia. You could combat that voters at that topographic point voted for their ain Nationalist parties. However it is belike to a greater extent than accurate to state that Vox's opposition to Basque together with Catalan autonomy proved especially unpopular to voters inward these 2 regions.
