It remains to be seen whether the PSOE and Podemos are able post-November 2016 to find common ground in order to mount a rigorous, yet constructive, opposition capable of holding the new PP government to account.

But as Javier Astudillo and Marta Romero write, with a government that is supported by less than 40 per cent of Spanish MPs, it is unclear how much Rajoy can hope to achieve.

In particular, commentators noted the challenge the new government would have to get the Parliament to accept a 2017 Budget that was also acceptable to the European Commission.
