On the 14th of May, 2023, Turkey will hold a presidential and parliamentary election. If no candidate can get over %50 of the vote, a second election will be held two weeks later.
Some polls to give a general perspective of the possible outcome:

İnce is a c*nt.
Can someone explain :
Turanism
Kemalism
Neo-Ottomanism?
Apparently, Kemal wants to “liberate” the Aegean islands from Greece. And I thought the Greeks would catch a break after Erdogan.
Irrelevant to the post, but why do people insist on using Turkiye instead of Turkey?
It’s like saying Deutschland instead of Germany, it doesn’t make any sense for English.
The “Table of Six” is a fun coalition name.
The roundel symbols make them look like factions in Rome Total War.
Turkey: Total Parliamentary War.
Nice graphics though.
HDP is affiliated with the PKK. This is common knowledge. Since the other acknowledged terrorist groups’ affilations has been stated, it should have been on the list.
So what was that Meral Akşener throwing grain on the floor about?
HDP = kurdish racism
DEVA looks pretty decent
The party associated with the “Kurdish Hezbollah” that has Kurdish nationalism as position supports Erdogan? The guy who fights a war to make sure there’s no free Kurdistan? What did I miss?
I think HDP its the only party who cares about the genocide 1915. I havent see the rest of the parties talk about it.
Not from Turkey nor do I have family from there. How do Turks generally feel about Kemal and Erdogan? From my American perspective, Kemal seems more appealing, but I know very little of either candidate outside of headlines.
DSP seems split, there’s members that support Kılıçdaroğlu
Are there really enough political/ideological positions to hold, that warrant 28 different political parties?
No wonder turkish democracy is a mess.
Please, can someone explain to me why kurdish Hüda-Par is supporting Erdogan? I mean, I thought Erdogan is understandably a huge no-no for all Kurds.
If Muharrem İnce had not nominated himself, this election would have ended in the first round.
The good party. I like that name.
I hope dictator recep loses. .
Why you didnt add Hdp “affiliated with pkk” ?
Rooting for Kemal, even more so now that I know he has the *HEARTS* and **Dolphiiins** on his side.
Some pretty nice sigils in there.
