PSOE rises 0.2 points and declares that Spain has finally chosen the right course for 2091
The party celebrates a "historic" rise with 6,500 respondents, one polling institute and a margin of error nobody wanted to read.
The PSOE rose from 31.2% to 31.4% in the SW Demoscopia/La Séptima poll and called a press conference to announce "a new cycle". The cycle lasted four minutes.
The Partido Popular fell from 28.5% to 28.3% and explained that the poll doesn't count but that, if it did, it would be measuring badly. Vox held steady at 17.5% and declared itself "immovable by conviction".
The Frente Amplio, on 7.4%, lost 0.1 points and opened an internal inquiry to establish who the tenth of a point was. According to a commentator who has given up trying to understand, Esquerra Republicana, on 2.7%, 'gained, in relative terms, what the country lost in attention'.
Podemos held on to 1.7% and blamed a disinformation campaign. Junts fell to 1.2% and asked for the numbers to be negotiated in Brussels, where there is usually a committee for that.
A government adviser, who asked not to be identified, summed up the official reading: "We're up two tenths. At this rate, we'll govern alone in about a thousand years, with the money of the usual suspects."
