Upon examining the results in this way, we can say that out of every 100 citizens more than half (54) did not choose to support any party: some (27) because they couldn’t vote; others (25) because they didn’t want to; 2 cast blank or null votes. Only 18 voted for the People’s Party, 13 for the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party; 3 for the United Left; 2 for the Convergence and Union Party and the Republican Left of Catalonia; etc. As we can see, this ‘overwhelming majority’ of the People’s Party with which they attempt to confuse us does not amount to even 20% of the population (24% if we count only those who have the right to vote)” (José Daniel Fierro, “Tras la jornada electoral todo continúa igual,” Rebelión, 23 May 2011).
