A sudden setback for a wannabe dear-leader
Jun. 8th, 2015 05:39 pmTurkey election: ruling party loses majority as pro-Kurdish HDP gains seats
In a nutshell, Erdogan's AKP is about to lose the comfortable parliamentary majority that they were enjoying, and which had started giving them the impression that they're invincible. Curiously, the Kurdish party HDP has passed the gargantuan 10% threshold to enter parliament for the first time, and looks likely to suddenly end up with 78+ seats.
Things are not looking particularly good for Erdogan...
