... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...’s AK Party and its allies will win a majority in the June 24 snap elections that would enable Ankara to switch to an executive presidency, the results of a new poll show.
The MetroPoll survey showed on Thursday that the AK Party would win 48 percent of the votes in the upcoming parliamentary votes, which will be held alongside presidential elections, while the party’s alliance partner, the nationalist MHP, would garner six percent.
The poll was conducted on April 13-20 and surveyed 2,063 people in 28
It put support at 21 percent for the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), 12 percent for the newly founded Iyi (Good) Party.
The pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP), whose leader is in jail over terror-related charges, would win 10 percent, a minimum required to enter parliament, according to the poll.
Erdogan announced the snap elections on April 18, saying holding the votes more than a year earlier than planned was needed to enable his party to make the constitutional changes narrowly approved in a last year referendum, which will give him sweeping new powers.
