El País reported that the ruling Popular Party (PP) secretary general María Dolores de Cospedal had said on the 2 December 2014 that her party would 'contemplate' a German-style 'grand coalition' with the Socialists (PSOE) if it failed to secure an absolute majority at the general election in 2015. The article says that this idea would have been unthinkable at any other time in democratic history, and the fact that it was made at this time highlighted how Spanish politics was shifting from the old two-party system to one where other players (such as Podemos) could gain a significant parliamentary presence. |
