The AKP, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, won 49% of the vote in the 2011 elections and holds 312 of the 550 seats in Turkey’s Grand National Assembly. A Gezici poll taken in January suggests the AKP’s support has slipped 9.7% to just under 40%. The Kurdish-based People’s Democratic Party (HDP), led by Selahattin Demirtas, is making headlines with a bold new tactic. Previously its candidates stood as independents, an approach which netted it 35 deputies in the last election. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/58752 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
