Two-party system in Spain under threat
It was the worst defeat in over two decades: not that the two main parties in Spain did not come in first place, but they lost a lot of support.
Some of the reasons: the world financial crisis, and the two major corruption scandals. Nevertheless, other opposition parties garnered a large portion of the vote, like the creation from the Indignados movement, the Podemos (We Can party). The other creation which rallied support is a creation of corporations, namely, the Ciudadanos (Citizen's party).
Prior to the elections: the predictions were grim for the two main parties, and by the time the final results were tallied: it became clear: the two main parties suffered their biggest losses in over two decades: Even though they came in first, the PP and PSOE saw their combined tally of votes fall from 65 per cent four years ago to 52 per cent, losing the ability to rally majority support.
But the surprise came more from the center right party, the Ciudadanos, with its 35 year old lawyer turned party leader, Albert Rivera. A product from Catalonia to counter the independence movement there, including the referendum drive, Economic Divide finds out some telling facts about the party leader Albert Rivera: most important, that several Spanish corporations had financed a so-called Citizen Party (Ciudadanos) on the right in a blatant attempt to divert the "throw the bums out" sentiment into safe channels.
