European elections 2009: Spain

A new political party is challenging Spain's traditional bi-partisan system with the promise of a "third way" in the upcoming European elections.
Centro Democratico Liberal (CDL) aim to take Spain's two main parties, the PSOE and the PP.
Sean O'Curneen, the leader of the CDL, is heading the list of candidates in Spain, where there is only one constituency and MEPs are elected on the basis of proportional representation.
European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (ELDR) hopes to win the vote of Spain's foreign population with a promise to end corruption.
"Our main objective for these elections is to let people know there is an alternative," Mr O'Curneen said.

Spain had 50 seats. 2 Left, 1 Green, 21 Socilaists, 3 Liberal, 23 EPP.
