This cable from 2004, provides an analysis of the decline of the United Left in Spain, while the party has held on to some influence in Spanish politics its standing has declined greatly in the last 2 decades. The United Left is an electoral coalition and represents the very liberal side of Spanish politics, in a grouping of progressives and communist leaning parties. While they share some of the same beliefs with the Socialists (PSOE), they find their stance much too moderate and there have been no efforts to combine parties in order to gain more popular support.
