Spain votes on Sunday in general elections. We will have an extreme right wing party (Vox) represented in Congress for the first time since Franco's death - it is essentially a splinter group from the longstanding democratic right party, PP, beset by corruption scandals and recently led for many years by right centrist Mariano Rajoy. The other right wing parties have reacted to the growth of Vox by falling over each other to move further and further right. Some people suggest Vox may end up with as many as 80 representatives - certainly it is very hard to gauge quite how many they will have, and whether the three national right wing parties will together get a majority to govern, as they have in Andalucía. Suspicion is that it will depend on abstention on the left - again, as it did in Andalucía. Weather looks good for Sunday, luckily.
