gromit " In the Congress of the Spanish parliament they have 0 MPs (out of 350). In the Senate the have 1 (out of 208). " - oh dear gromit, you seem incapable of learning, UKIP won their aim without their leader ever entering the commons, think wider me old china!

'Spain and Portugal to leave Europe' anagrams to
'Overagitate on plunderous appeal.'

Just ''Spain to leave Europe' anagrams to 'Evil one out appeaser.'

Just 'Portugal to leave Europe' to 'Portugal to 'Populate overeager lout.'

And 'Ireland to leave Europe' to 'Repudiate venereal loo.'

We should be warned of these exit plans.....

[ichkeria]

We can expect I guess a series of these daft predictions over the coming months and years.

[DTCwordfan]

And worringly so, 'President Trump loves Europe' anagrams to
'Superior, purest development.'

Yes the situation in Spain is identical exactly with the the UK in 2016.
[They have a weak Conservative leader worried that the the populist party will take votes from them, so agree to a referendum. ]

The same except Spain has a strong socialist Government and Vox are absolutely no threat at all to them and will not railroad them into holding a referendum.

I suspect countries are watching to see how the UK fairs outside the EU before exit contagion is a possibility.

The key difference between Spain and the UK is that the latter has always had a large minority wanting to leave the EU and an increasingly eurosceptic wing in one of its main parties. So the Vox UKIP comparison is misleading.

"The key difference between Spain and the UK is that the latter has always had a large minority wanting to leave the EU"

HaHa, that minority was big enough to get us out.

Yes : the point being though that it’s hardly the same in Spain

ichi; //the point being though that it’s hardly the same in Spain//

How would you know how many of the population want out?

What their members of parliament Cortes Generales want might be very different from what the public want. The only way to know is to follow the example of the Brits & have a referendum.

The last polls i heard of throughout the EU showed Italy registering the smallest percentage of people wishing to remain in the EU - at 70.

It depends a lot on the poll, I think you can take that with [i] une pincée de sel [i] just like the polls before the British referendum.
