Is it possible to prevent new parties?
WHY IS EVERYONE talking about an early election? The reason is to not allow the newly-established parties to strengthen as the economy continues to deteriorate. The government failed to make any swap agreements with reserve money countries, and then the talk turned to the new parties.
Erdogan, the President and the leader of the AK Party, says “it’s not possible to win with points from Youtube” but since the government took control of mainstream media, digital media sources such as Youtube have become more popular. The number of views in Ali Babacan’s “Don’t Call it Fate” video is over 1.6 million. Also, the municipal elections showed how the political trend is changing.
Is it easy to hold a snap election? A total of 360 votes from the General Assembly are required to hold a snap election. The following rule is included in the Presidential System:
“The Grand National Assembly of Turkey may decide to renew elections by three-fifth (360) majority of the total number of its members. In this case, the general election of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the presidential election shall be held together (Article 116).” However, the government bloc’s total number of seats in the General Assembly is only 340.
