Key Quotes

“No party is expected to command an overall majority, with a hung parliament almost certain. It seems as though we are heading towards months of deadlock as witnessed in 2015/2016, with heightened risks of further elections later this year.”

“According to opinion polls, incumbent PM Pedro Sánchez's centre-left PSOE will pick up the most seats, with the centre-right Partido Popular (PP) set to come in second.”

“A left-wing coalition consisting of PSOE, Unidas Podemos and a range of smaller left-sided parties is the most likely outcome, similar to the current makeup. Despite recent reports, third-placed Ciudadanos (Cs) are unlikely to support a PSOE-Podemos government.”

“Should PP become the largest party or PSOE fail to form a government, a right-wing coalition led by PP, with the support of Cs and the newly formed right-wing Vox, is possible.”
