It's not easy translate ideologies between Spanish and American model.

If you ask me what my ideology in the United States, I'd vote to the Democrats, but if you tell me what my ideology in Spain, then I'd vote to the Popular Party (moderate right wing). In Spain always win the political party that dominates the moderate voters (moderate left wing and moderate right wing).

The radical right wing are a minority today. Why ? Because radicals are include in the nationalist politic parties of Catalonia and Basque Country (CiU and PNV ). The radical right wing was finished in Spain when General Franco died. Franco's regime nostalgics are old people, therefore very little social and politically dangerous. Are groups of people who need a leader to symbolizing the traditional values ​​of Spain and this problem is solved with King Juan Carlos I. Our present King was appointed by Franco for when he died. Nobody ever voted that Spain was a republic or a monarchy in 1978, simply it was assumed by all because it was decided for Franco. What's ideology of King Juan Carlos I? Everybody know that King Juan Carlos is on moderate right wing and Sophia Queen is on traditional right wing (conservative).

Also today in Spain there are radical nationalist left wing politic parties as Bildu, that support the ideas of ETA terrorist group, or ERC in Catalonia or BNG in Galizia Community.

Popular Party includes inside itself different type of voters: moderate right wing (demochristians and liberals), the tradicional right wing or conservatives (bourgeoisie and businessmen) and radical right wing (nostalgic Franco Regimen).

In the other hand, the left wing includes inside itself: the socialists (PSOE), communists (IU) and radicals (anarchists and others). Socialist and Communist are the same today, there isn't differences, maybe the only one is because today Communist Party is more closer of modern ideas of Ecology in Europe than Socialist Party. Spanish communists are very anarchist and they support models of street fight similar to the Spanish Revolution.

If you ask me what is for me the ideology of "los indignados" group camped in the streets of Madrid, the answer is only one: anarchist/communist. They've requested to everyone for no vote to Popular Party (PP) and socialists (PSOE).

To explain the model in only 2 lines: in Spain there are 2 major political parties but majority group of voters are in the geometric center. The important thing is to dominate the center, not right wing or left wing. The problem is that when a society progresses and becomes more rich, then it is more conservative. That is the problem for left parties in Spain, because many times they are outside on the match.

What is the difference between moderate left and moderate right? For me is on religious belief sometimes. If a person is Catholic, like me, then stood as a Demochristian and opts for a moderate right wing option in Spain (Popular Party).

For example, the Gay Marriage Act. I respect the law because it is good and right. Homosexuals are normal people and I have many friends who are and I respect them and their sexual option. For me the only objection to the law is semantics. I do not like the word "marriage" because it is a religious sacrament. I'd prefer to be called the "legal unions." The rest of the law seems to me perfect, even the possibility that homosexuals can adopt children under 18 years.

The problem of the Socialists in Spain, as Spanish society is becoming more modern and conservative, to get more votes they have to capture between the radical left wing (communists, anarchists, ecologists and antisystem-anarchists). How? The only option is to pass laws utopian and radicals. Problem: then they lose votes on left moderate wing. When they lose the votes of the moderate left wing then they lose the elections. In addition, camped on the streets (los indignados) are communists, anarchists and antisystems and they do not want to vote because they don't want to support the Socialist Party after mismanagement in recent years. That is why the People's Party (right wing) has 2 million more votes than the Socialists in the last election: they lost the votes of the moderate left and the radical left did not vote.

For example, the Socialists in recent years have advocated closing the nuclear power plants and fill the country with wind turbines because they said it is a green energy, clean and sustainable. True, but now the electric bill in Spain is 4 times more expensive than in France, England or Germany. This economic factor means that companies are not competitive and have to close and go to other European countries to open their factories. It was a wrong policy decision and it has generated a lot of unemployment in Spain. This law likes the radical left but for moderate left wing is a mistake and now they prefer support to Popular Party.
