Spaniards are considering whether it makes sense to spend another €160,000,000 to hold election attempt #3. To elect the same government they’ve been trying to elect since December of 2015.
What’s really curious, though, is that the country’s incapacity to elect a government has had no real impact on anything. The situation is ridiculous but it’s not that big of a deal. [I’ll omit a discussion of the growing irrelevance of nation-state trappings because everybody on this blog already knows all this.]
Maybe the current election in the US is such a joke because people intuit that nation-states matter less than they ever did.
