The truth is Turks don't deserve anyone better than Erdogan.
People who oppose him are as bad as his followers.
A rotten culture. I haven't seen worst in my 45 years on this rock.This is a country where I fight with people almost everyday waiting in supermarket line because they don't give a fuck if you were waiting there before them.
And they want to be ruled by a fair leader?This is not a reaction to the results, I secretly wanted him to stay even though i voted for others, I let go of my emotional ties a long time ago.
- the economy is going to implode pretty soon. It wont be different than Argentina.Beeswax
- They'll sabre rattle against Greece, threaten to pull out of NATO and support Russia, open the immigrant floodgates to Europe...the usual tricks to get $$$_niko
- oh and pretend to fight terrorism inside and outside their borders. I guess all this only helps the cronies at the top and not actual Turks._niko
- But I guess it's all good, I imagine there are thousands and thousands of cranes in the sky building and reinforcing buildings to prevent another disaster..._niko

'Amusingly' it's a lot of the expat / emigrant Turks who vote for the fucker, presumably because it doesn't impact them too much beyond peripheral benefits (eg. their Euros convert to a lot more Lire when they go back, etc).
The UK is one of the few countries where the majority of 'Turks'* voted for the opposition...

That said, and I hate to say this, but I agree with your 'supermarket queue' comment - I do find a lot of the Turks here in London Really Fucking Rude. I don't remember them being like this a few years back. Wondering whether they're like the UK ex-pat communities in places like Spain, where they now have such a number that they think that don't need to adhere to local customs and norms, so become utterly contemptible.
* I put this in single quotes because I suspect a lot of the Turks here in the UK are more Kurdish.

- Turks/Kurds same same but different.Beeswax
- I think there's a difference between migrants and expats. Rude ones are migrants who formed their closed society a while ago and dont give a fuck.Beeswax
- Also the ones in USA are very different than the ones in Europe & UK. USA>UK>Europe in terms of migrant quality/adaptibility...Beeswax
