Spain's Socialists on course to regain power

Poor Spain.

In Spain, issues like mass immigration or euroskepticism that have dominated political discourse elsewhere have been eclipsed by the question of national unity and the threat posed by the Catalan independence movement.

Good for Spain to avoid a civil war - the Basque and Catalonia secessionists would revolt if Spanish nationalists take over the government

It's a little harder to explain. The results obtained in Spain are due to the electoral distribution of the D'Hondt System. The dispersion of the vote on the right-wing front divided into 3 parties. While on the left side the vote concentrated on the socialist party.

An example:

Left block:

Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) 7,450,353 votes + We Can (Left + Communist) 3,696,782 votes = 11,147,135 votes.

Against the right block:

Popular Party (PP) 4,305,560 votes + Citizens (C's) 4,088,665 votes + VOX 2,649,588 votes = 11,043,813

This is what has happened to my country. There is no difference between left and right. It's only been the scattering of the vote on one political side. While in the other it has been concentrated in a single political party. In the last elections all the right-wing vote was concentrated in a single political party. The People's Party (PP) had eleven million votes.

And this result is very bad for my country's economy. Because it will increase public spending as well as debt.

Bad news for Spain.
