Erdogan party won a convincing victory in Turkey

At the Sunday elections to the Great National Assembly of Turkey, the Party of Justice and Development won a convincing victory, which is the member of the country Tayyip Erdogan. It is reported by Hürriyet Daily News.

Previous parliamentary elections were held in the country on June 7, but according to their results, the PSR did not receive enough places to form a one -party government. On the other hand, the supporters of Erdogan failed to form a coalition. In these conditions, the cabinet Akhmet Davutoglu became the Provisional Government, and new elections were announced in the country.

The result of the election on November 1 was completely different. PSR scored 49.37 percent of votes against 40.87 percent in June. This, in accordance with the legislation of the country, provides it with 315 seats in the National Assembly out of 550, while according to the results of the June elections, it did not receive 276 seats (that is, 50 percent of the mandates plus another). As Hürriyet Daily News notes, now the PSR has more chances to carry out a constitutional reform on which Erdogan insists. He seeks the transformation of Turkey from the Parliamentary Republic to the Presidential.

The PSR, however, does not have the constitutional majority - it is 367 seats in the Great National Assembly. The ruling party does not have the opportunity to independently initiate a referendum - for this it would be necessary to get 330 seats in parliament.

In addition to the Erdogan party, a 10 percent barrier, as in the June 7 elections, overcame three more parties. The main opposition force - the People's Republican Party - improved its result quite slightly - from 24.95 to 25.41 percent. The right party of the nationalist movement received 11.94 percent of the votes against 16.29 in June, the Prokurda Democratic Party of Peoples - 10.68 against 13.12.

According to the publication, the results of the elections on November 1 for most citizens were unexpected. It was assumed that according to their results, a coalition government will be formed. However, there were enough voters in the country, for whom stability turned out to be more important than democracy and freedom, of the violation of which the opposition accuses the PSR.

The party of justice and development, founded in 2001, in three in a row of parliamentary elections-in 2002, 2007 and 2011-received enough votes to independently form the government. The June elections of 2015 were the first to be able to get such broad support. Now the PSR played its positions back.

During the June and November elections in Turkey, clashes of the security forces with the forbidden Kurdish labor party resumed, the country survived the bloody attacks of IG terrorists, and the Turkish Lira fell greatly in relation to the dollar and the euro.
