Spaniards' apathy to repeat election casts uncertainty over outcome

MADRID (Reuters) - Sitting outside the scruffy political science faculty of Madrid's Complutense University, Elena Jimen is exactly the sort of dissatisfied Spaniard who was inspired to vote last December for new parties that promised a change.
