The Balearics could be heading for early elections after the ruling centre-right Partido Popular split from Vox, the far-right party which was keeping them in power. The Balearic President Marga Prohens held urgent talks with party officials and Mayors over the weekend and they told her to call early elections.

Just TogetpublishedWell I’m a voter but I don’t know what I can do about it other than vote for one of the two major parties. The days of either of them getting an overall majority are long gone. Berlingo is right, they are both subject to the whims (and blackmail if you will) of the smaller parties with whom they have to form coalitions.
Interesting this as it is different in different countries in Germany it´s basically the same as Spain and this is the reason that very small part´s of the community wind up with so much POWER because they say yes we will help you but that support dosent come free and for a while especially in the beginning they command a lot of power Spain has a very fractured political structure which is why every town particularly in Mallorca has a different outlook regarding almost any issue !
SaraI don't but the voters have to do something, this has been going on for as long as I can remember. No wonder Mallorca is in such a state.
Just TogetpublishedAnd how do you propose that “we” voters do that? One party majorities are a thing of the past in Spain.
Here we go again, for Gods sake you voters out there give one party the majority or nothing will ever get done.
