Is it possible to democratically elect a dictator?

>>73655457
Drumpf

>>73655457
yes, if the election happens among monkeys that do not know how civilized world works

>>73655457
Referenda are rarely ever used for democratic purposes.

>>73655457
yes

democracy is a mistake for communities heavily inhabited by
uneducated and biased people

Vote no

came here to write that turks are retarded
but this looks better

>>73655751
you're lower than our peasants ikibey, you're an outcast

>>73655457
Yes, of course. Elections aren't the only feature of the democracy.

Demagogues act as if they better represent the will of the people by trashing checks and balances set upon them by a liberal constitution. Unchecked mob rule isn't a democracy.

>Turks unironically thought they could be in the EU

>democracy means choosing your leader

>>73655703
It doesnt even matter, evet will win.
For 15 years, they have won every referandum and election, this time will be no different.
Its futile, democacy is bust

>>73655842
This outcome is partially our fault. EU leaders couldn't promise Turks they would be allowed to join even if they meet all conditions. We were afraid of our own right-wing populists.

Turkey turned away from the West and democracy as a result.

>>73655922
thats because they aren't european and no amount of bureaucratic re-wording could persuade the people of Europe that Turks are European

>>73655580
This is exactly what I was talking about

>>73655922
So fucking what. The EU was trying to lower the standards to let Turkey join.
Which would lead to the same problems we have by letting shitholes like Greece and East Europeans join.
And then we'd have open borders with the entire middle east.

>>73655987
Has there ever been a law on the maximum amount of terms you can have as president in Russia?

I heard that turkish soldiers are present inside the voting centers.
Is that true?

>>73656030
There's only a law on how many terms you can serve consecutively, hence the puppet medvedev

So is Turkey an Islamic dictatorship now?

>>73655457
Never heard of the '30s Eigil?

Benevolent dictatorship is the best kind of government. Too bad this won't be one.

>>73656113
Turkey is a sultanate
praise ErDOGan

The Dutch monarchy was elected.

>>73656192
t.Salazar

>>73656071
Only police.
But there is probably soldiers in the eastern parts since people are killing eachother at voting centers there

>>73656082
this
>>73656030
you can only be a president twice in a row

>>73656216
And they still enjoy a popularity of 86% I believe.

>>73655842
well they gave up after trying for fourty years, hence why erdogan got so much support with his domestic politcal stand.

there is a reason why you didn't hear about turkey in the news before the last decade.

>>73656216
How is your monarchy even close to a dictatorship in any way

>>73656310
When we elected our monarchy they initially had near absolute power.
But over time the powers were lessened.

But our King still has more power than Erdogan in Turkey after the referendum.

>>73656363
We were originally a republic.

But with the threats from Germany, France and the UK around us we centralized our powers for more decisive leadership. So we could act quicker if something happened.

>>73655922
Turks don't want democracy.

If they did they wouldn't elect an Islamist. They'd rather be another authoritarian shithole.

>>73656363
Huh, I thought they were pretty much decorational just like our own monarchy
You learn something new everyday I guess

>>73656363
>But our King still has more power than Erdogan in Turkey after the referendum
I didn't know you still lived in the medieval ages Dutchbro. Western monarchies are just supposed to be there for the looks, not meant to have any actual power.

>>73656029
So fucking what? We have another hostile power at our border. Only that.

>>73656462
Officially it is unknown what the influence of the King on the policies of our government is. Because that's a state secret.

>>73657037
Our ministers are not allowed to talk about their conversations with our King.
But they are not allowed to disagree with him in public either. Because then they get fired.

>>73656449
>/pol/ wants Trump/Wilders/AfD etc, strong leaders for USA/European countries
>doesn't want strong leaders for Middle Eastern countries for """democracy"""
>/pol/ also constantly voices its hate of muslim majority countries

Gee, now, what could this mean?

>>73657137
It might mean not everyone is some slackjaw /pol/tard with a fetish for bootlicking.

>>73657105
Some former ministers have once leaked that the former Queen prevented the gay marriage here for a long time. Stopped the plans to get elected mayors (who are now appointed by our government incl the King). Got potential ministers rejected and government officials replaced.

>>73657105
>>73657286
How do people feel about this?
We have people here that want to discontinue the monarchy, because they feel it is outdated. I imagine it would be a lot worse if the queen actually had any political power.

>>73658597
Nobody cares. Everyone thinks the role of the King is purely formal. That's what the media keeps repeating after all.

>>73655457
Germany did it once :^)

>>73657137
It means /pol/ is a jew of internet
And...You are muslim, so you know what i mean by this.

Xi Jinping us a dictator

>>73655979
Then they shouldve just flat out rejected them instead of getting their hopes up
>>73656029
Even Bulgaria joined and theyre still poorer than Turkey.
