UPDATED 8:21 AM PT — Friday, July 26, 2019Spain is inching closer to the fourth general election in the last five years as the nation’s socialist party fails to form a cabinet.
In a vote in Spanish parliament Thursday, socialists failed to secure a backing by the left-wing Podemos to form a ruling coalition. The two parties could not reach an agreement on social spending as well as the lingering issue regarding the independence of Catalonia.
According to caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Podemos was asking for a greater role in the government than he could offer. He claimed the demands made by Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias were too divisive.
“You continue to not understand, Mr. Iglesias, that what is needed is a government, one government,” stated Sanchez. “A government that is coherent and cohesive, not two governments in one government.”
Spain’s caretaker Prime Minister now has two more months to form a parliamentary majority. If he fails, the country will be up for a new general election.

I thought this was about the Democratic Party of the United States. The whacky left can't get along with the whackier left even long enough to form a government.
