New Spainish Socialist Government

[Rasta Sapian]

President Jose Zapatero, announced it just after his socialist party took office, and after the train terrorist disaster, which was said to be ritalliation for the spanish troops stationed in Iraq, The 1300 troops which have already seen intence fighting will go going home shortly!

This is just one example to show the difference between having a right winged government to a left!

Hopefully it will encourage the people in other coalition nations to vote for anti-war parties :D

Aznar's Partido Popular (the right wing conservative incumbent party) had a 2/3rds lead in the polls before March 11. The elections were March 15 and the Socialists got in.

This is slightly tenuous but on closer examination I can see justification for the Spaniards' voting. Aznar immediately blamed ETA for March 11 without providing any evidence of it. About 2 days later something around 8 million Spaniards marched on the streets of their cities, condemning the operation and calling for answers. By this juncture, it was becoming clear that fundamentalist Muslims were behind the attack, yet Aznar was still attempting to point the finger at ETA. Bearing in mind that around 93% of Spain was against its involvement in Iraq, they now decided to vote for Zapatero's Socialists, who promised the removal of Spanish troops from Iraq. I think this is about as fair a result as we can hope for with representative democracy, even if it did take a tragedy for it to happen.

Please stop referring to PSOE as Socialist, they are far from it.

[Hate Is Art]

aren't they called the Socialist Party though?

[BOZG]

So are the French SP? And the Labour Party call themselves socialists.

Now with Spain gone, all that is left is the Coalition of the Stubborn.
