	Spain - GOVERNMENT
		Spain has a history of failed constitutions, and the framers of the 1978 Constitution endeavored to devise a document that would be acceptable to all the major political forces.
		The Socialists had opposed Spain's decision to join NATO in May 1982, and part of their election platform in October of that year was the promise of a referendum on the question of remaining in the alliance.
		Spain's system of political parties was complicated by the existence of regional parties that were active both at the regional level, and, when they had seats in the Cortes, at the national level.

		Spain and Poland want to retain their disproportionately large voting power rather than the double majority rule in the proposed constitution.
		The current Council voting system (from the treaty of Nice) is not based on any logic, it was simply the result of negotiation.
		This voting mess that Spain and Poland are trying to retain is a classic example of what having Nation States fighting for their own interests means.

		In September 2002, Spain was the first European country to introduce a “feed-in tariff“ funding system for solar thermal power.
