Membership
The Andalusian Parliament consists of 109 Members of the Andalusian Parliament, elected for four year terms in proportional party lists using the D'Hondt method in eight constituencies, being each one of the Andalusian provinces. If more than five MPs are elected for any party they will form a Parliamentary Group.
After the 2012 elections, an agreement between the Socialist Party and United Left-The Greens, spanning 59 of the 109 seats, supports a government led by José Antonio Griñán. The right-wing formation People's Party won the election but was unable to form a government, since they only got 50 seats, five short of the absolute majority.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
