The average of the most important surveys, published by El País on , was only close to the results of Vox compared to the actually obtained on May 4), of Unidas Podemos ( compared to and Ciudadanos compared to . He greatly underestimated that of the PP compared toand that of Más Madrid compared to and he overestimated that of the even more compared to . The left-right balance was, in 2019, and now it has become including on the right the vote lost to Ciudadanos. That is, between 6% and 7% of voters – almost entirely from the PSOE – have changed sides, from the left to the right, in 2021 compared to . What has happened? The easy recourse is to say that the citizens have made a mistake and that they have allowed themselves to be manipulated.
Given the peculiar characteristics of the winner and her management—widely discussed in this same space—the massive vote for her may be incomprehensible. But, human beings do not act only guided by reason, but we are also a mixture of emotions, in which fear, fatigue, visceral rejection of certain options and even a taste for spectacle have their weight. The mission of the left is to have all this and know how to deal Belgium Mobile Number List with the manipulation of emotions that, election after election, the right usually carries out. Without pretending to be exhaustive, or even to be right in all the causes that I point out, here are a set of reflections on what, in my opinion, has been done wrong or has not been done in these elections by the left : From the first moment, Ayuso proposed an emotional campaign—communism or freedom—and most of the left got caught up in it after the famous SER debate—fascism or democracy, we said.
It has become clear that, in amplifying and exacerbating emotions, the right is much more skilled. The area in which the left can convince is that of management - both in the aspect of criticizing the adversary, and in that of its own proposals - and this was abandoned in the last week of the campaign. The left undervalued and did not effectively combat Ayuso's identification of “freedom” with the desire of many Madrid residents, after the many restrictions imposed by the pandemic, to return to a social and economic life without them. The Ayuso phenomenon—halfway between an extreme political position without nuances and a media spectacle—has not been able to be digested by the left. It must learn to effectively confront populist provocations and at the same time prevent them from occupying the entire agenda. Political cadres would perhaps need specific training on this by communication experts.
