the PSOE is expected to get more than 120 of the congressional 350 the mandate of the then post and utlandsröster calculated. PSOE’s natural partner, the left-Podemos, dropped, however, land and ports on more than 40 seats. It means that He needs further support to sworn in. A given to some extent due is bourgeois basque PNV – 6 seats – which, since last year, supports Sánchez sitting minority government, and the small regional parties from Cantabria and the Canary islands, if they at all take into the congress.
to be sworn in must Spanish ministries pass a vote of confidence, ”la investidura”. In its first attempt in need of government support of an absolute majority, but then he can be sworn in by a simple majority. This form, in fact is important, for it means that He can avoid bargaining with the Catalan separatistpartiet ERC, who made a sensationally good choice, and secured 15 seats in the Madridparlamentet.

The ERC, in contrast to the other separatistpartiet JPC (7 seat), want to play down the confrontation with Madrid and the know that life under a right-wing government would be far less comfortable.

Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera promised during the campaign never to govern with the socialists, but both he and Pedro Sánchez has previously broken such promises to the electorate.
