Inside Story – Can the political deadlock be broken in Spain?

Spaniards have gone to the polls to try to break six months of political stalemate, three days after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. The unprecedented, repeat general election was caused by the failure of the four main political parties to agree on a coalition government since the election last December. Will the outcome of the new election heal the political divide? And how are new political parties shaking the system?
