Alsina evidencia en su monólogo la diferencia entre España e Inglaterra: "Que vuelvan los guiñoles"

The host of Más de uno has highlighted how, faced with a crisis within the ruling party, the UK Prime Minister, Starmer, was forced to resign, while Sánchez, in Spain, avoids calling elections. #psoe #spain https://www.ondacero.es/programas/mas... Let me tell you a story; it's very short, you'll see. It's a story about the English, now (since we're playing England on Sunday), the Gibraltar fence disappeared yesterday, and the British ambassador here said the Spanish team is formidable. In 1984, there weren't even any private television channels in Spain—Martín Ferrand and the Jiménez de Parga brothers were still urging Felipe González to loosen the reins on television freedom—and four more years would have to pass before Javier Gurruchaga did a vitriolic parody of Felipe on the single national channel, hiring an actor who was about 5'2" and a dead ringer (the spitting image) of the president. In the sketch, groundbreaking for the time, Victoria Prego tells him: "You have to see how power has worn you down." He'd been in power for six years, two less than Sánchez. Although Spitting Image didn't arrive in Spain until the mid-nineties, when Canal Plus bought it and made a killing mocking Aznar, viewers of Televisión Española (TVE) had already heard about the program through Documentos TV, which aired two reports on the British television phenomenon as if revealing the existence of an exotic species to its audience. The victims of the original Spitting Image sketches were Reagan, Thatcher, and the British royal family. Viewers of our state-run television must have been astounded in 1986 to see the British head of government, made of latex, urinating in the men's restroom with her ministers, for example. Let's just say that Spitting Image's humor was quite crude, or even crude, by Spanish standards at the time. Even by British ones. Reagan was constantly making out with Thatcher while trying to learn the name of his Soviet counterpart, Chernenko. Contrasts between British and Spanish Politics In 2020, the Spitting Show was revived in the UK by a streaming platform, with Trump and Boris Johnson as the new lead couple, and it lasted two years. It has since been resurrected as a YouTube series, now available on Filmin. And the one who comes off worst is the Prime Minister, already in freefall, Keir Starmer. Trump, a complete madman, humiliates, subdues, and even, if you'll pardon the expression, badly humiliates him. Nine months ago, they aired a parody of Starmer taking a political aptitude test. If your party keeps falling in the polls and you are perceived as a spent force, what is the right path? To resist until my party is completely unelectable, that is, until nobody even considers voting for us. Keir Starmer bid farewell to the British Parliament yesterday, delivered his final speech, and cleared the way for his successor, Burnham. Let's say Starmer's political career ended the same day as Miguel Ángel Gallardo's, relatively speaking. The fallen prime minister, ousted by his own party, is living proof of how fleeting political glory can be and that the future is never written. He went from an absolute majority two years ago to the total disgrace with which he has been effectively written off. The contrasts between British and Spanish politics are striking: there, a leader with an absolute majority loses the government; here, a leader who didn't even win the election refuses to give citizens a voice precisely to avoid losing it. That our president doesn't take kindly to his groupie Tezanos is common knowledge. That Tezanos gives him an extra point in the polls for every new person indicted in his party is also well known. The government is languishing. Today, it will claim victory if the European Court rules that the amnesty law complies with European legislation. The government will celebrate the ruling—this one it will consider just—and it has every right to do so because it has won the legal battle. But the government should be careful not to take this endorsement as if it were the best thing that has ever happened to Spaniards, because neither the government nor the parties that support it ever wanted to ask the Spanish people for their opinion on this matter. The party that proposed the amnesty to Congress, the PSOE, ran in the elections repudiating it. It repudiated the amnesty when it was elected by its voters. And then it never wanted to ask them. It doesn't seem that Spaniards are eager, anxious, or even keen to be able to welcome Puigdemont at El Prat airport and shower him with kisses as if we were all Miriam Nogueras.
