What about the people?! Erdogan received a huge win in the latest elections AFAIK. I mean you can what you want about the man, but there's no European politician that comes close to his numbers in terms of vote percentage.
- tremon 10y agoThe AKP got 40% of the votes in the last parliamentary election, 9% down from the previous. Erdogan claimed outside interference, and with the AKP refusing to negotiate a coalition deal for the full parliamentary term, new elections were scheduled. The november elections had its share of problems [1], but ultimately saw the AKP return to a 50% share.
