MADRID — Spaniards began voting on Sunday in local and regional polls expected to deal heavy losses to the ruling Socialists, who are blamed for widespread unemployment that has off a wave of pre-election protests. The elections are a key test of how much the party's support has crumbled due to soaring unemployment and its handling of the financial crisis, and are seen as a prelude to general elections next year. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43116460/ns/world_news-europe

You do realize this is all cyclical, right? The Irish just voted out the more conservative major party. If you go country by country, the party in power, left, right, or center, is often blamed for the current economic problems.

Free DSK! Free DSK! This was a plot by the evil capitalists to discredit a fine French Socialist.
