We are in the context of the past European Election in Spain. The term looks simple enough, but I don't think I am getting it right:
"¿De qué depende el voto a XXXX?" Where XXXX stands for the name of a political party.
I am going round these terms:
"What does a/the vote for XXXX depend on?"
"What does voting for XXXX depend on?"
"What determines a/the vote for XXXX?"
"¿De qué depende el voto a XXXX?" Where XXXX stands for the name of a political party.
I am going round these terms:
"What does a/the vote for XXXX depend on?"
"What does voting for XXXX depend on?"
"What determines a/the vote for XXXX?"
