Socialists set to reign in Spain, but not without support.
Spain's third parliamentary election in less than four years did little to dispel uncertainty over the political future of the eurozone's fourth largest economy.
"Forming a government will be far from straightforward," Antonio Barroso, an analyst with the London-based Teneo Intelligence consultancy firm, said in a commentary Monday. Spain's political landscape has fragmented in recent years, after decades in which the Socialist party and the conservative Popular Party took turns in power.
The Socialist party, which came to power last June in a minority government, gained a lot of political credit by increasing its number of seats from 84 to 123.
