Resumen
CASTELLA ANDREU, Josep-Maria. Parliamentary system and electoral system in Spain: similitudes and differences among state and autonomous communities' government. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2012, n.27, pp.73-103. ISSN 1405-9193.
This article deals with the main characteristics of the Spanish parliamentary system -which underlines presidential supremacy- and its relationship with the electoral system -proportional with majoritarian results-. Both elements have remained unchangeable since the transition to the democracy and during more than thirty years of constitutional regime. The effects produced are the monopoly of the political parties in the public life and a great political stability, but at the same time a progressive distance between citizens and representative institutions. The same features extend similarly to the government and electoral system of the autonomous communities. However Statutes' amendments of the last decade have introduced timidly some new rules.
