Thumbs up for our system.  At least the winner here gets to form a government quickly. 

Over in Spain, they had an election and people wonder what the point of it was. 

Who won?  So far no one really knows.

This is the story:     

Spain was plunged into political uncertainty Monday a day after Alberto Núñez Feijóo's conservative Popular Party narrowly won the country's national election but without securing the parliamentary majority needed to topple the five-year-old coalition government of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

The result means Feijóo can't claim outright victory, though he told his supporters he would try to form a government. That process is likely to take weeks or even months as Sánchez may also be able to secure support from smaller parties to form a governing coalition. A new election could also be called.

Frankly, I'm disappointed because what we heard from friends is that the vote would be a referendum on jobs. the economy, inflation and a Spanish version of "malaise."     

It probably was but not enough to form a parliamentary majority.

So check the news because the election is over but forming a government is not.
