Mighty PSOE Eclipsed by Far Left

The Financial Times reports Spain's Once-Mighty Socialists Set to be Eclipsed by Far-Left.

The Spanish left is heading for a wrenching realignment at this month's repeat general election, with a closely watched new poll suggesting that the centre-left Socialist party will be eclipsed by the far-left Unidos Podemos bloc.

With the official election campaign set to kick off at midnight on Thursday, Unidos Podemos was forecast to win 25.6 per cent of the vote and 88-92 seats in the 350-strong parliament.
