And this is because the conservatism, that has it's roots in Catholicism. That was at least what the correspondent of Yle said in her report before the elections.

When you force people to be religious it tends to collapse when the force stops. I'd expect Ireland to be low as well, for similar reasons.

The total conservative vote is significantly higher than the 38% we see in this graphic - and there are many leftwing people who are devout. So religion doesn't properly explain the Spanish right-wing. And historically Falangism was never really a religious movement. Franco forced it into a cooperation it didn't really want.
