Abstract
Una de las grandes preocupaciones históricas de la sociedad española es, entre
otras, la de la calidad del mecanismo arbitrado para la representación política. La
inapaciguada agitación con respecto al diseño consagrado en la LOREG –conocido
popular pero faliblemente como “sistema D’Hondt”– ha cobrado fuerza nuevamente
en el contexto socio-económico actual, campo abonado para que erupcione una
vez más lo que podría denominarse bajo el calificativo de “la cuestión electoral de
la democracia española”. Por ese motivo, es preciso abordar las consecuencias prácticas
de los artículos 6 y 68 CE, ya que ambos son relevantes para comprender la
situación actual de la representación política, del sistema electoral y de partidos en
nuestro país, así como de los derechos políticos que están en juego.
One of the earliest leading worries of the Spanish society is that of the quality of the mechanism for the political representation. The unquenchable agitation with regard to the design dedicated in the Organic Law of Electoral Representation –commonly but wrongly known as “D’Hondt System”– has gathered more strength in the current social-economic context, a solvent field in order to once again explode what might be named under the epithet of “the electoral question of the Spanish democracy”. For that reason, it is demanded to deal with the practical consequences of the 6th and the 68th articles of the Spanish Constitution, due to both of them are relevant to understand the current situation of the political representation, of the electoral system and of parties in our country, as well as of the political rights that are at stake.
