This article has only a history through 1978, and no other information about the Cortes itself. The Spanish article es:Cortes Generales seems to be useful, but I'm not fluent enough in Spanish to translate it. --Closeapple 18:55, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tercios

Weren't the Francoist Cortes "elected" instead of appointed by Franco? I remember something about tercios ("thirds"):

• One third by family heads.
• one syndical third by Falange.
• One third by corporations (colegios profesionales), universities, African tribal authorities,...

In fact, they were, but the candidates were appointed by the regime (I mean, there were no political parties as we know them, not even a soviet-like state party). You had then the opportunity to choose between Mr. A, appointed by the regime, and Mr. B, appointed by the regime-loyal Syndicate.

This page is replete with grammatical errors; I suggest the author revise and even do a spell check.
