This year the course has started much earlier, with a party that called itself Sumar and which was followed by a few weeks of that, frantic calculation, additions, but also subtractions, multiplications and divisions, which threatened and still do so to the parties based on of what they are adding, that is, adding. Or subtracting. It is seen that mathematics is never approved to everyone’s liking, and if not, take a tour of Twitter and your Thermomix of possible agreements.

Archimedes already said it at the beginning, and thus the body of the PSOE, submerged in the fluid of the pacts, has experienced a vertical and upward thrust equal to the weight of the displaced PP fluid. The accounts for the Congress Table have not come out for the peperos, as it is also foreseeable that they will not come out, if an unforeseen event does not add subtractions to the rest, to form a government. Oh, those subtractions, always more unpleasant than additions, especially for those who count on the fingers of one hand, among whom I count and should count more than one politician, because just yesterday Feijóo also presented the sums of what cobra.

For subtracting the peppers, Vox went yesterday (not even Vox was trending all day), for a matter of positions, which are like the little balls of the abacuses with which the calculations were visualized: if you move the little ball to one side , you add, and to the other, you take away. Be careful, we are talking about mathematics, not about tricksters, although knowing how to hide the balls is also important, almost as much as knowing arithmetic: mathematics rewards pacts because they add and, even more, multiply, the positions and the benefits, so it gives you you carry (decimals, eh).

In addition, they cause a pull effect, although the same could also be said of the divisions, especially on the left, although this has not been the case, no matter how much in recent days the networks have reminded those who will not sit in the seat this year. Congress, Irene Montero, the great subtracted, among them.

Never before have so many experts in elementary calculus been seen on the networks as in these days when the parties have needed quantum computers to round off the majorities, a typical primary question and that even so has made their lordships puzzle. Well, we don’t want to imagine when it comes to budgets. And meanwhile, and in another galaxy, the numbers are also necessary for needs such as paying for food, raising the mortgage, school supplies. If Archimedes lifted his head, he would plunge it soon.
