A TURKEY IN TWO HALVES

It's funny. I have been expecting European countries to follow Britain and be split down the middle.

I didn't expect the next country to be split down the middle to be Turkey.

Also I expected Presdient Erdogan, I don't like him at all, to lose quite badly in that referendum!

When I think of the extra powers he had given himself I find it hard to believe anyone in Turkey would be stupid enough to allow him to siren grant himself more powers than he already has.

Considering the previous troubles he has caused and that's not including the coup attempt this will not end well.

I predict that he will cause several shocking situations over the next couple of years and then there will be trouble.

Hell, it may even turn out he rigged the elections and the trouble could come in a matter of weeks?!

Come to think of it I never looked closely at the Austrian election to see if that was a close split too.

I need to check to see what's ahead for the next twelve months. My brain keeps telling me there are two elections coming up? I know France is coming next month, May is it?

Oh no I think I'm getting confused, there was a Dutch election I think? Good God I need to give the time to look at these things in more detail.

I would not want to be living in Turkey over the next couple of years, that's for sure.

I am sure President Erdogan is modelling himself on Putin, or just copying him or doing what he thinks Putin would do?

Your not Putin though, Mr Erdogan and it's not Russia.

It is almost like President Erdogan is trying to turn Turkey into a dictatorship? Little by little.

I hope by Christmas the title of this post does not end up being true?

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: Turkey referendum: Erdogan hails 'clear' win in vote on new powers - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39612562

WHAT MAKES A TYRANT

Ahh easier to just share instead of screen shots, dopey arse twit!

Anyway I saw this report that stated that the Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, stated he is listing his patience and that the protesters are merely looters.

Cannot help but wonder who he thinks he is, lol.

This got me thinking to what he will do when he had just his patience.

Then I started thinking about the numbers involved.

Surely there if something gravely wrong when one man, or indeed woman, insists that a growing number of people are wrong?!

I am not sure if the exact number of people or indeed the ratio or percentage of the Turkish population thinks ad the protesters do but is not Democracy based on the larger community and the ratio of what is wanted?!

Hmm I an our of it that probably sounded bonkers, lol.

In an ejection the elected if the one that the majority of people have voted for.

So if that same majority now want you gone because they thank you are a tyrant and you call them names and look and speak down to them and act with violence does this not then make you a tyrant?! Surely this borderline tyranny if not so already?! Surely these acts damage your country and its reputation and standing with foreign nations?!

Therefore you are NOT acting in the best interests of you country or its people?!

Like I stated previously these kinds of stories are coming thicker and faster and I feel like I have posted half a dozen using my smart phone while lying in bed?! 

Here in the UK it is no different and now looks to be getting worse.
