Kaixo denoi,

I have been studying this report of the elections and I find three items I am
unsure of. Below are two statements which are contradictory. Each of these
statements has a mistake but I can't tell whether it is the votes or the
percentages. Can someone tell me what is correct, please?


"UA gets 15 000 votes and 12% of the whole. "

"IU, with 70 000 votes (1.2%)"


The other part of th report states that

"Thus, the signatory parties to the Lizarra Agreement have got 746 000
votes -those who excluded themselves from this settlement only 483 000- and
they have got 43 seats as opposed to 32 seats of those who
did not sign the agreement."

This works out at 60.6% of the votes and 57.3% of the seats. This discrepancy
seems a little large to me. Can anyone give me a description of the electoral
system that explains the discrepancy?

Those questions aside it seems the newsletter is saying 100,000+ people left
the PSOE & IU parties to support PNV and EH (aka HB). That seems to be pretty
significant and indicates the majority of people of people are (may be) in
favour of an independent state. What are your readings of these figures?
thanks

Jon
