Abstract

The last general elections in Spain in March of 2008 have given us the opportunity to take a fresh look at politics. The term “unrest” here refers to the general perception of the public, but is based on the growing bipolar conflict characterising today’s politics. This bipolarity has nothing to do with ideological differences, but is in fact depriving the public government of the effectiveness that should characterise it. The problem becomes more complicated in Spain due to its territorial debate and also the unsuccessful attempts that have been made to redirect the situation through “governance” channels. This terribly paradoxical situation demands a strategy of small short term goals to lead public opinion about politics back to a more positive outlook.
