Completely Fair and Democratic Elections in Turkey

There is a lot to be said, but I’ll try to stick to the facts:

• Previous one was on June 7, 2015.
• There is a 10% electoral threshold.
• After June elections, 4 parties made it to the parliament.
• None of them had enough votes to form a government alone. They also failed to form a coalition.
• It is quite likely today’s elections will have a similar result. Polls were very accurate last time, they are pointing to a similar composition for this time too. Another election to be held in May is already being discussed.
• There are other parties but they each get very few votes. The general opinion is your vote is wasted if you are voting for these.
