Where This Sudden Call For Elections In Spain Might Go?

If you use current polls (August)...the center-right PP Party is in first place....and a PSOE (Sanchez left-of-center crew) majority within reach.  Three points separate them.

Rumored election day?  29 November now.

In the control of seats?  PP (right-of-center) is figured to take around 139 seats, and VOX (right-wing) would take near 64 seats.  You need 176 seats to have coalition.  The 4th and 5th place parties?  They'd take a max of ten seats (not really figured into anything).

So there are three things falling into play....Sanchez as PM....is probably gone. With all this migration-hype....you can figure some type of massive change is in the pipeline....destined for January-February action.  Finally, a lot of the left-of-center social promises of the past decade....probably are going to dissolve.

If you asked me the problems in this election?  I'd say unemployment for youth, housing issues, migration, safety-security, and dynamics of tourism overwhelming 'reality'.  

Could the Sanchez crew pull out a miracle of 4-to-6 points plus?  Yes....if they were to hype the housing crisis and fixing unemployment numbers.
