Today I have woken up and it is literal, they have called me of Basque Country Irratia, with the news about that the PP wants to modify the electoral Law in Basque Country to spend from 3 % to 5 % the minimum demanded to be able to have representation in the Basque Parliament.
The first thing, a small clarification on of what does the reform go. The idea is that that political education that obtains less than 5 % of the expressed valid votes is not born in mind at the time of the benches share-out. Namely that if a party extracts 4,55 % of the votes in Biscay, for example, that simply is ignored and the benches distribute between the rest.
The target, to make to disappear to the small parties of the Basque parliament.
The case is that the Spanish socialist party and the PP, they are taking a very bad custom as it is that of modifying the laws to eliminate all that that they is not favorable, they started with the left Basque nationalist and now they go for the parties of the mixed group and Aralar.
Farewell to the plurality.
Someone will be able to think that I write this post, because, theoretically, the first affected one would be EB.
In this respect two clarifications, the modification might not be applied by retroactive character, so up to the following elections there would be no affected one.
EB from 94 has overcome the barrier of 5 %, except in the last elections, and I have no reasons to think that it will not do it again in the following ones.
On the other hand, although the measurement was benefiting us, we would be opposite, because there is no sadder thing for the democracy that a parliament without minorities and without plurality.
If the topic goes forward, we will be able to do nothing to stop it, but that at least that the complaint remains clear.
P.D. I rectify, the PNV there is posicionado in against, so I withdraw the part in which he was speaking about the PNV. That serves to me as lesson not to pay attention to the journalistic informations without hearing the protagonists posicionarse.
