| Goodbye to stability if AKP is to win |

| [Hurriyet Daily News] Not a day goes by without a public opinion poll being published in the pro-government media and according to their claim, the Justice and Development Party has 47 percent of the votes. Unbiased research does not validate this information but they don't mind! The aim is to manipulate the voter, and in this endeavor, they excel. One of these media explains the AKP's 47 percent support by saying the electorate want stability. I could not refrain from laughing when I read this. Because if the AKP gets the majority as it dreams to do, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... will be faced with a heavy regime debate rather than stability. We will be entangled for a long while on debates about a new constitution and a new system. If Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) are to remain below the threshold, a parliament with a significant amount of unrepresented votes will be make a constitution that will change the system. We cannot foresee the consequences of the tension resulting from these debates, but we can say society will become extremely tense. Then we will be facing a referendum on the constitution. If the constitution changes in accordance with the wishes of the AKP, then we will have to go to the ballot box again this time to elect a parliament and a president according to the new constitution. A period of rising political tensions and upset economic balances due to economic policies conducted for an electoral victory awaits us. Stability? Nonsense. |
