Spain’s Election

Spain is preparing for its long-awaited election. This was a very contentious electoral cycle, with candidates for the position of the President of the country’s government insulting each other, puffing and huffing in displays of macho, and not saying anything of great value. Things got so crazy that the current President Mariano Rajoy got hit in the face by a young voter who belongs to the group of population where 1 out of 2 people are unemployed.

The candidates are all men who look the same, speak the same, mumble a lot, and have bored everybody with their desire for self-aggrandizement.

40% of Spaniards have still not decided who to vote for (because the candidates are so interchangeable) but the leader of the ruling party of austerity Mariano Rajoy leads. He is older than his 3 opponents, so at least he stands out in that way. I detest Rajoy (because he is a dumbo) but the rest of the candidates are not hugely inspiring either. I’m glad I don’t have to vote in Spain.
