Babacan's party will not get many votes but they stand firm in their principles.
- Freedoms
- Rule of Law
- Free Speech
- Equality in Opportunity
- Reconstructing institutions
We all agree on these.
Discussing on Şeyh Said within the party is not a problem. Who cares actually? It's not a topic on Turkey's problems. We wouldn't even care if somebody didn't made a news about of it.
They won’t get many votes ? Hoe much will they get? Enough to pass the bar ?
You can see that ppl don’t care for blank votes. Worthless as there are no mechanisms or institutions to ensure some kind of blocking of governance.
Demonstrations are pretty much a thing of the past with how the current government has illegalized demonstration with their fearmongering.
When democracy is fucked you need to go back scratch. Atatürk is the symbol of resistance so if a party wants votes. They need to uphold Atatürks ideals with religious fervor.
Otherwise 4-7% votes won’t bring you anything, but laughing RTE and AKP.
Just saying, there are baselines that no Turk will give up on. If it wasn’t so difficult to establish a party in Turkey more would establish parties defending those ideals.
