Given the unpopularity
of PP and PSOE, the fact that EP elections are often considered
of «second - order» and the specificities
of the electoral
system for European elections in Spain (
proportional representation in a large national electoral district
of 54 seats with no electoral threshold), one would expect that this election will threaten the stability
of the two - party
system (or «bipartidismo», as it is called in Spain) that has dominated Spanish politics during the recent
democratic era.
