Who the hell Vote

My newsagent-hi, Pepe asks me about the mechanics of the ballot blank. Like many other concerned citizens, he does not feel represented by any particular party and is considering the possibility of so manifest at the polls. I explain the procedure, although the final Apostille serves very little: "The vote is only one candidate himself, will continue to fall with the seat and with our representation."

I state for the presidential elections in Peru, where the candidate voted in the first round embody the extremes of the ideological spectrum: Ollanta Humala and Keiko Fujimori. The latter has not even reached three and a half million ballots compared to over two million blank or spoiled votes, 12.3% of the total. A lot. Well, not a single Spanish media quoted the data, like the Peruvians were so happy with their political system.

The Valencian Community is not Peru, of course, and in recent regional elections here there was only 2% of null and blank votes and I doubt that the 22-M significantly increase that number.

What can happen is to grow the abstention, which in 2007 was 29%. That could shut the meager punishment of some PP voters about how Francisco Camps has faced the Gürtel case. Although it won a reduced majority, if lower than 1.2 million votes that would be a full-blown warning, like bullfights when the matador like the task.

And there are people, like a friend, a longtime supporter of the Partido Popular, which tells me: "Who I'd vote is Esperanza Aguirre, accused for having cleaned his application, sorry can not do it."

More symptomatic than the Madrid president of the PP in the case of the Balearic Islands, where just returned. There, a little-known Jose Ramon Bauza has remade the party that left about foxes and Jaume Matas, polls, will get an absolute majority against Francesc Antich.

Is that the electoral strength lies in an acronym, the People's Party, rather than the name of so and so or menganito. For this reason, Mariano Rajoy environment believe that any other candidate would get better now that Paco Camps: from Rita Barbera to Esteban Gonzalez Pons, Alberto Fabra through Paula Sánchez de León.

In any case, for lack of games to choose from is not going to be. Among the three provinces of the 29 electoral lists are different. What happens at the end, apart from what many of them picturesque, from the Party Antitaurino to De-Truth Against the crisis is that our country tends to bipartisanship, this led to the electoral law and party funding and and by the media.

Even the third political training in dance, the School of Marga Sanz, is always at the limit to enter the Corts, and the next, the commitment of Enric Morera, polls leave it to the gates of the regional parliament. And who knows Rafael Soriano, UPyD candidate, the party of Rosa Díez?

Therefore, despite the division of parties in many municipalities, electoral groups tailored for those who conduct them, the political weight of the immigrants and the emergence of regional candidates, the elections of 22-M are about two - totaling between 85% of votes, but with the current inaction of George PSPV-PSOE Alart may come to seem one thing.

Hence the stolid satisfaction of Francisco Camps and at the same time, the dismay of many voters.
