Abstract

Elections and electorates in Spain. Electoral behaviours and regional societies in Spain. Since 1976, the Spaniards have had to vote ten times or so. The four successive general elections have strengthened the preeminence of the two political trends: the Socialist Party on the left, the Democrat Centre Union then the Popular Alliance, which is more conservative, on the right. As was already the case in 1936, the left-wing parties, whose social basis is mainly among the working and the urban classes, are in the majority in Southern Spain. The right-wing parties have the edge in the Old Castille and Galicia which are the most rural and church-going regions in the country. Momentous in Catalonia and the Basque country, the influence of the autonomist parties irregularly affects all the social levels.
