“…In the Spanish case; for example, some studies have investigated both the newspaper stories and television news stories in order to understand the effects of economic policies on the policy debates of Spain (McCombs, Llamas, Lopez-Escobar & Rey, 1997;Lopez-Escobar, Llamas, McCombs & Lennon, 1998;Semetko & Valkenburg, 2000). There are so many studies which focus on the relation between the voting preferences in the Spanish elections and news reporting by using content analysis (Strömbäck & Luengo, 2008;Orriols & Cordero, 2016;García-Viñuela, Jurado & Riera, 2016;Blasco-Duatis, García & Cunha, 2017;Johann, Königslöw, Kritzinger & Thomas, 2018).…”

One of the newspaper strategies during the election periods is related to how newspapers coverage on economic policies may affect voters' behavior. This study analyzes how two main Spanish newspaper articles position the economy issue in all the news before the last three general elections of Spain through the content analysis. The objectives are the following: how the news that includes the theme of economy and politics differentiates through content analysis and how these newspapers reported the news to the public. To find an answer, the economic news during the official election campaign periods are evaluated and subjected to content analysis. As a result, these two newspapers reveal the good sides of the parties that they are ideologically compatible with, by this way, they may interpret especially the economic news to influence the voting behavior of citizens.

“…Some rules may induce, for example, the making of pre-electoral coalitions, as is the case regarding local elections, particularly in small municipalities (Nadenichek, 2006). Others may systematically tend to direct more campaign efforts by a political party to those districts where the leaders estimate that winning a new seat is more likely or there is a greater danger of losing one already held (García-Viñuela et al, 2016).…”

The current paper focuses on the Spanish electoral rules governing political competition for the central "Congreso de los Diputados". It is well-documented that the system as a whole has traditionally favoured one or the other of the two main political parties (PP and PSOE) at the expense of proportionality and the remaining political parties. This paper focuses on some key Spanish electoral rules and investigates how much the observed biases could be altered by introducing some alternative rules taken from the Swedish electoral system, ceteris paribus. Measures of disproportionality are made through the Loosemore-Hanby index and the Gallagher index. The electoral raw data used for our estimations comes from the 2011, 2015 and 2016 last three Spanish general elections. The basic contribution of the paper is an empirical one as it provides a new example that institutions matter for results.

This paper studies changes in voting preferences over election campaigns. Building on the literature on spatial models and valence issues, we study whether 1) ideological distance to political parties, 2) assessments of partiesÕ competence to handle different policy issues, and 3) votersÕ updating of candidatesÕ evaluations are factors that explain shifts in votersÕ choice in the weeks preceding the election. To test our hypotheses we use data from three survey panels conducted for the 2008, 2011 and 2015 Spanish general elections. Our findings show that valence factors are more influential than ideological indifference to account for campaign conversion.
