The problem is that the left parties on themselves have no majority either, they need to have the support of separatist parties. Then remains that the Partido Popular of outgoing PM Rajoy is by far the biggest in the Lower House and has the majority in the Upper House, so when there is a left-wing coalition, it will face tough legislative processes because their base of power is ultra-thin and there are conflicting ideals between the parties in such a coalition.
 
This could go on for awhile I think!
 
Podemos' No 2, Irene Montero, a possible minister in a future Podemos cabinet launched some threats against the monarchy on Twitter, to guillotine and throw Felipe to to sharks ('los borbones a los tiberones' = throw the Borbons to the sharks has been a slur against the monarchy for a long time)
La futura ‘ministra’ de Pablo Iglesias amenazó con “guillotinar” y “lanzar a los tiburones” a Felipe VI

Rajoy continues to drum up support for an unpopular grand coalition while PSOE and Podemos have many things to disagree on like, see above, the monarchy or the Catalonia independence.

This minister Irene Montero must have mental problems. May only. I hate Podemos. Long live the monarchy.

The tweets are from 2013 but it shows in what direction podemos will go. Same goes for Catalonia what both other strong parties PP and PSOE don't share.

Chances of a leftist coalition have improved since Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias said on Friday he was willing to soften his red lines to negotiate a pact with the Socialists.
However, any possible deal is still not a certainty, given the Socialists' Sanchez would need to agree pacts with several nationalist and pro-independence parties from the Basque region and Catalonia to gain a majority in the 350-seat parliament.

And what if after new elections there Result is similar to the present one ?

It only needs to have a few % change in the electoral result to get everthing different again. The margins are small and it will very much depend on the output at the polling station, the ability of the parties to get their electorate to the ballot box again, etc.
