Spain's governing Socialists (PSOE) won the most seats in Sunday's election, but fell short of a majority - and right-wing parties made major gains.
The conservative Popular Party (PP) came in second, and far-right Vox more than doubled its seats to become the country's third most-powerful party. This is Spain's fourth general election in as many years. A previous vote in April ended with no clear majority, and the Socialists failed to form a coalition government.
This time, the Socialist party won 120 out of a total of 350 seats - three fewer seats than in April's vote. The PP has 88 seats, up from 66 in the previous poll, while Vox has 52 - up from just 24 in April.

The huge surge in seats for Vox is one of the biggest talking points. Spain had appeared immune to a wave of far-right populism spreading across the continent in the last decade. But now Vox has established itself as a major force in Spanish politics.
