New polls for the exhausted Turkish voter

You know, dear reader, we were not able "sell" our opinion to these "guys." 

When I say guys, it is indeed the political parties I am referring to. 

With the local elections on March 30, 2014, with presidential elections on August 10, 2014 and with June 7, 2015 general elections, we have casted our votes three times in 15 months.

We tolerated their tugging of all our social values at political rallies to whatever suited their book, their straining the nation, their polarizations and their insults to those who were not like them. We witnessed their yelling, their threats and their tantrums. We overlooked their demonization, their nonsense pledges.  

Shortly, we went to cast our votes and we told them: "Guys, make a deal amongst yourselves; we do not want to give the key to one of you only?"

The guys who were playing the drums for 12 years alone, who got used to enjoying full power did not like the elections results.  

Even if the Justice and Development Party (AKP) itself wants a coalition, their "older brother" does not want it. 

The pro-government media had a smooth transition from the "national will rules" to shaking their finger at the voter, "you will see." 

Well, you know Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) anyway. It wants to have its cake and eat it too. 

It is dreaming of staying within the red lines it has drawn, to be able to advance while standing still. By calling the voters of a party which gained 13 percent "dishonorable," it thinks it can move ahead. 

Let us be fair....
