The Centre for Sociological Studies is one of those institutes of influence in the democratic systems which we have evolved in the European tradition since mostly embracing peace and putting aside our most ancient animosities to each other.

It does opinion polls.
In any society where the percentage of abstentionist votes is as pivotal to the security of centre parties who rule by little more wit than chasing economic indicators in the globalised free market post thatcher/reagan neo-liberal U$ project,

Opinion Polls Count.
Polling opinion pays.
1,594 completed interviews between 29/4/05 and 11/5/05.

Galicia, is one of the 17 autonomous regions of the Spanish state, as established in its constitution which saw the dictatorship of Franco, convert itself into a fledgling democracy and progress to arguably one of the most exemplorary democracies of the €U.

It's regional government is called the Xunta.
& has been led since its formation by a man who sat at the table, on the list, of those who wrote that constitution.

Manuel Fraga, is the oldest elected politician in Europe, seconded in that honour by the Irish Ian Paisley of the doomsday cult party of wee ulster.

Fraga is certainly one of the keenest and most important politicans at both regional and national level living on our great continent of near 500,000,000 people as they look for the best way forward into the XXI century.

Don Fraga as he is known to his very loyal supporters, was one of Franco's most trusted ministers, and upon the transistion, passed from being the perceived centre of power of the guardia civil, to author of the constitution and founder of the Partido Popular or PP the centre right spanish nationalist party, led through its only 8 years of government in the history of modern spanish democracy by Aznar.

Fraga's influence may not be underestimated, nor his achievements dished, his career though not to many tastes, has and will always have a profound meaning for the spanish and gallician peoples & he is respectéd.

In the immediate aftermath of the Prestige disaster, when an oil tanker carrying 70,000 tonnes of crude oil and displacing 44000tonnes or sank 11,880 in feet of water off the coast, Don manuel Fraga, the president of the Xunta said he would continue in office "as no-one else was capable of the job" but that he would not run again for office when his term ended.

He broke his word.

The elections have been called for the middle of this month of june, 2005, and 73.4% of gallicians polled by the CIS have agreed with the proposal that the PP ought have chosen another galician, other than Fraga to lead the party.

They might have asked his fellow galician, Mariano Rajoy, the current leader of the PP, and protegé of Aznar who lost the elections of March 14 2004.

They could not bless 'em ask most famous of all gallician - Francisco Franco, caudillo of España, coz he's dead.

If the poll published in the last 30 hours is correct,
the Xunta shall pass into a coalition of PSG (the local variant of the PSOE centre left ruling party of Spain) and the BNG the left galizia nationalist party with a majority of one seat. & over half of Galicians as represented by those 1,594 people who bothered to help out the market researcher by finishing the interviews are unhappy with the deal they get from the central government in Madrid, and the central guvernmunt in Brussels being simple folk of good food, and culinary tradition based on seafood and fish, with lashings of oil.
