The Spanish go to the polls today. Two anti-establishment parties (Podemos on the left, Ciudadanos on the right) and the two main parties (PP and PSOE) are not exactly the flavour of the month. What are the chances of Brexit affecting it I wonder?

Podemos are in favour of a Catalan independence referendum, and are looking to make some gains over last year's inconclusive result.

Doesn't look like either party will manage a majority so some sort of coalition incoming. Be interesting to see if the outsiders can get enough votes to make a serious impact though.

They really don't like it but I think there's an appreciation that their economy is so bad that a Spexit isn't an option right now.
