MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's ruling party will cut income tax and create two million jobs over the next four years if re-elected next month, centre-right Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told a campaign rally on Saturday.

Rajoy's People's Party (PP) is expected to win a Dec. 20 election but without securing a parliamentary majority. Due to the rise of newcomers on the left and right, the PP may be unable to get sufficient backing to form a minority government even if it wins.
