Is there some structural factor that prevents the assembly from being taken by Erdogan's opposition?
- ttn 9y agoIn theory they can. In practice, impossible. Its the culture. We do not vote for representative, we vote for a party and its leader.
- tormeh 9y agoA split opposition and a 10% voting threshold. The opposition would essentially have to lay aside their differences and form an anti-Erdogan party. That's unlikely, because the Kemalists and the Kurds hate each other.
- m00dy 9y agoWho told you that Kemalists and the Kurds hate each other ? Can you give me any source for that ?
- tormeh 9y agoThe Kemalists want one indivisible Turkey with only Turks. The Kurds not only persist in calling themselves Kurds instead of Turks, but they also want to secede. These two points of view don't play nice with each other.
