One of the main features of the evolution of the political class in Spain, from the Restoration to the present day, is without a doubt, the degeneration of the trade itself, thanks in part to their own players. And we have gone from exceptional personalities, unique in the history of Spain, with a high intellectual and an academic curriculum that credited back to a kind of caste in politics is a profitable profession which served more than a vocation to serve, with the consequent disrepute by the public in all that "smell" to politics. This process is slow but progressive, began to have significantly accelerated after the first years of transition. Thus came to politics, a new generation men and women, perhaps the first "official policy" that were known not more merit than that of being a member of this party and have done in the shade of the same the rest of his career, with the consequences of worsening for the system that would follow.
One of the clearest and most obvious cases of such "degeneration" what is the current President of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria. A character who has become famous for among other things, move (only in Madrid and when he goes to the Moncloa) by taxi, give right and left cans of anchovies, participate in TV shows like "Buenafuente" and some other statement somewhat out of tone. It is a rare blend of kitsch, graciosillo middling and redneck, than anywhere else in the world had not reached even half of half of what it is today, but thanks to the increasing influence of parties small (regional in this case) and that serve as hinges for the power, offer this type of character, a unique opportunity to shine.
A character in the eyes of people can be friendly or close, but that does not stop being a demagogue and a nightmare for the Spaniard, who nevertheless continue votándole every four years was incomprehensible.
