Elections in Turkey: Erdogan's party backs the consensus

Victory, but with decrease of consent for the Islamic Justice and Development Party in Turkey. The formation of Erdogan remains the largest party in the country with 40.8% of the vote, but in this match because 255 MPs, a far cry from the quota of 330, which would have resulted in an absolute majority. Win an absolute majority, accounting for 60% of the vote, was the target of the Party of President turkish, through which the political group could have asked for a referendum on the approval of an amendment that expanded the power of the figure of the single judge President of the Republic Turkey, with the clear intention to transform the system of government in presidentialism. This project was started from a distance, with the gradual loss of the party became part of the secular confessional education and the influence on the social changes imposed on the country. Turkey's Erdogan wanted to establish itself as a leader in the Muslim world, because of its economic strength as well as its military strength. The geopolitical and strategic goal was to follow in the international influence of the Ottoman Empire in a modern way. To pursue this goal the parliamentary form was not considered a suitable tool. Only the presidential system could have prevented those counterweights their parliamentary systems, which prevented stances too personalistic. Erdogan had approached this goal preferring the position of President of the Republic, that figure had to be above the parties, that of head of the government, interpreting his role abnormally because too deployed. Even during the election campaign, although the law expressly prohibiting, Erdogan spoke in an official manner, but biased. Despite the defeat the party of Erdogan shows, however, a good grounding in Turkish society, which, in its majority, supports the formation presidential. However, this program should now be shelved and other relevant data of the election results, is a matter of further political defeat for Erdogan because for the first time entered the parliament in Ankara a pro-Kurdish party, the Democratic People's Party, also supported by leftists in the country. The result is significant because it holds with 12.9% of the vote, a figure that has overcome the high electoral threshold of 10%. The fragmentation of the vote, which gave the Social Democrats 25.1% and 16.4% to the National Action Party, does not allow the formation of an alternative government Erdogan, for disagreements among other formations. An important finding is the high percentage of voter turnout that reached the value 86.3%. If the plans of Erdogan were blocked, the maintenance of the majority of his party still does not favor a positive attitude on the part of Brussels for a possible entry of Turkey into the European Union. Indeed, it seems unlikely that the power remains unchanged, the country turkish can reach the standards of application of the social and civil rights required by Europe. It remains to be seen how Erdogan will manage the new and totally unexpected situation; if the grievance will prevail, it is easy to consider new riots for democracy in the country.
