Turkish Elections Go to Second Round, Which Candidate is Better for Multipolarity?
Turkish elections are a deciding factor for peace in West Asia
I speak with Fiorella Isabel of The Convo Couch about the Turkish elections held on 14th May. Both Erdogan and Kemal Kilicdaroglu failed to get above 50%. Erdogan finished around the 49% mark. This means a hotly contested second round on the 28th May. Erdogan’s AKP party has won the majority in Parliament which suggests a victory for the Islamist-leaning President but the ensuing two weeks of mud-slinging will surely entail pressure from the US for Kilicdaroglu (CHP - Republican Party) and Russia for long-time thorn in the north of Syria - Erdogan.
Fast forward 5 minutes:
The US shouldn't be involved at all.
Accuse me of blatant short-cutting if you will, but if the US wants one candidate, sane voters should elect the other, disregarding all other issues. The State Department always blackmails those it selects for the Judas role, invariably honeypot variants or homosexual liaisons. America works hard to prevent contamination from democracy, integrity, or patriotism.
