I'm sure they would prefer to deal with someone else as well, but since the people according to appearances and despite the myriad uncomfortable rumors and facts around him still actually chose Erdogan, they will have to deal with him.
Tons of vote rigging attempts have been uncovered and yet remain unpunished. Tons more than possibly weren't even spotted. If I had the energy, I would create an entire new thread and write it all for those who may wonder. Also, the counting process, which has always gone on way past midnight, was finished in just 2 hours this time.
Believe me, I could just give you a whole page of reported incidents. Enough to cancel 10 elections altogether. Just as I noted above, I simply don't have the energy to go translating it. The separation of powers, however, has long been non-existent in Turkey. This is to say, it has all been reported in vain, because we are all powerless. Can't do anything at all against the face of this madness. All this shit was was witnessed by designated European observers too. Hell, they even forcibly drove away some of them out of the election grounds so that they could do their rigging merrily and away from watchful eyes.
What do I mean? I mean no, he hasn't been chosen. Believe me he never has been chosen democratically. Is there some 15 million autists who do always and always vote for him? Yes, there is. That can't have taken him anywhere near where he is right now though. It is known very well by the EU. Briefly said, legitimacy is not what is holding them back.
We have been literally trying to defend the ballot box from the government, pawns of the national intelligence agency, their huge network of volunteering scrubs and the police for at least the last 3 elections. Needless to say, we have always lost this fight as simple citizens. The whole world knows it and all that is done is publish headlines "celebrating reestablished Turkish democracy". We are being ruled by a tool. And that tool still seems to be useful for execution of the global Middle East agenda. That is all about it.
