Crisis election changes political landscape in Spain

The Spanish conservative People's Party (PP) regained power and fringe groups did well in elections on Sunday (20 November). The PP as predicted won an absolute majority of 186 places in the 350-seat lower house - the best result in the history of the party.
The centre-left PSOE, in power since 2004, received just 110 seats - the worst result in the history of its party. Meanwhile, smaller parties doubled their collective seats to 54.
