Most new prime ministers are in their early 40s. But the next one will be a grey-bearded veteran. The choice will be between Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, the Socialist deputy prime minister, who must lead his party into a tough general election due by next March, and Mariano Rajoy of the conservative People's Party (PP). The voters are set to choose Mr Rajoy. An image consultant's nightmare, the bespectacled Rajoy is a dull candidate. Spaniards still complain they know too little about what the enigmatic 56-year-old will bring. Victory will go to him because the election will be lost, not won. The voters savaged the Socialists in municipal elections on May 22nd, giving the PP a record ten-point lead. They had reason to punish their Socialist prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. A once-booming economy crashed on his watch. Unemployment is over 21%, growth may be low for years, bond yields are high and deficit-cutting is causing real pain.
