What's the update on imamoglu lately? Haven't been following ever since he got arrested and protests started.
I don't think he'll be out for at least another 3 months. They'll drag it on for as long as they can, but eventually they'll cave in.

I don't know how credible Areda Survey is, but here...

How do you evaluate the developments in Turkey's defense industry? (dark teal: Successful; red: Unsuccessful)

And then they wonder why AKP still rules, despite our "glorious" economy.
Maybe their next presidential candidate will be KK again.

"Chairman of the Homeland Party İnce has decided to rejoin his former party, CHP. The Homeland Party will be dissolved, and CHP Chairman Özel will present İnce with his party badge."

Turkey needs to do two things: hold a presidential primary and reform the voting system so that people can vote out losers.

The D'Hondt method, and closed-list proportional representation system is what leads to this shit if people what to get rid of AKP they need to campaign to change the voting system.

So they can purge the political parties of undesirables.

I always wanted that every elected person, at every political level has to have at least a Master's degree and can't be older than 65 years. Also at least 25 % of members of every political party has to be a Professor.

CHP has neither the intelligence nor the program to come to power. They are bringing back the man they fired 5 years ago.

CHP has lost all their credibility for me when they made KK as their presidential candidate. They talked about democracy and then fcked over the "Altılı Masa", very democratic indeed.

It doesn't matter; getting rid of Erdogan has utmost importance. After a few years, new elections can be held to decide who will govern.
The only good thing Erdogan did for the democratic process in Turkey was to create the presidential system. That system is the only time in Turkey's history in which politicians can be held to account. I hope that if CHP does come to power, they don't do something stupid like end the presidential system.

The Turkish presidential system is the worst thing that has happened to Turkiye. Turkiye is on a downward slope since switching to the presidential system. The presidential system transformed the HDP/DEM into kingmakers, granting them unprecedented leverage over Turkish politics. We should find and hang the person who put the idea of a presidential system into Erdogan's head.

That was always going to happen, I'm afraid, since the parliamentary the system sucked was well and wasn't implemented currently.

The presentational system needs reform, so there are checks and balances on the president's power.

How did the switch to a Presidential system make the HDP/DEM kingmakers?

Erdoğan wiped out all political parties with his newly founded party in 2002 and came to power. I cannot see a leader in today's Turkey who can defeat Erdoğan. There is a need for a party that will enter the elections from scratch like in the 2002 elections, but there is no leader in Türkiye who can do this.
