Tomorrow there are local elections in Turkey. I would like to say that that something will change, but it isn't likely. All the big municipalities (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa) will remain in the same domains maybe with smaller margins this time.
There are mainly three parties in the arena: AKP (religious, populist) with more than 50% share, CHP (Ataturk's party with an unwanted, unsuccessful current leader) with 25% share, and MHP (nationalist party) with around 15% share. In such a democratic arena, AKP will win in almost every city because of the undemocratic, mass dominance.
