Pablo Iglesias has already moved the first chip in the face of a possible investiture of Pedro Sánchez. History repeats itself and, after the result of the last general elections , the PSOE once again needs Unidas Podemos to form a common Executive. It already happened in the previous election , in which the negotiating teams were unable to reach an agreement after Sánchez's veto of Iglesias and his request for a Government proportional to the votes of both parties . The ditch is opened again with a situation similar to that of April. Both parties have, together with nationalists and other left-wing formations, a total of 169 deputies, a figure still far from the absolute majority (176) but which could be enough with some key abstentions of the independentists.

The purple ones have 3,097,185 votes compared to the 6.75 million of the PSOE, so they would represent 31.4% of the supposed Government.
It is a figure taken from Iglesias' own statements , who during the summer demanded an Executive proportional to the support of each political force. Today, even with the presence of Más País in the parliamentary arithmetic, the socialists would only account for 64% of the Council of Ministers. In a Cabinet like the current one, with 17 members, the presence of the PSOE would be Middle East Phone Number List equivalent to 11 holders, compared to 6 for Unidas Podemos . Those from Errejón, with just over 575,000 votes, would not have a presence on the team.

Unidas Podemos, much more harmed by the D'Hondt Law , would have to settle for the remaining one minister for every 4 of the socialists . Considering again an Executive with portfolios, the formation headed by Pablo Iglesias would have 4 ministers , following the same criteria. Then would come the stage of the PP of José María Aznar, president after winning the 1996 and 2000 elections. In 2004, the winner was once again the PSOE, this time led by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who obtained the largest number of votes garnered to date by a political party in a general election by surpassing the barrier of 11 million votes, both in 2004 and in 2008, which today remains a record figure. Over the last decade, the entry of newly created political forces has changed the political map of the Congress of Deputies, reducing the weight of the bipartisanship to the minimum of the last April elections in which PP and PSOE only added 189 deputies. ; In November they have grown to 208 seats.
