Elections night

AKP won again but CHP is rising.
I voted today. We voted for 5 (or 6?) different people. Almost for everyone but the prime minister. The actual government offered white goods, coal, food, gold to the people, especially in small cities but it didn't work that well since what people want is a job and that unemployment is near 17%.

Elections approaching

Next Sunday we're going to elect a bunch of people, from the district supervisor to the City Mayor to the Assembly. Flags are everywhere in the country.

Elections

This guy is running up for Istanbul City Mayor. His promises are :
opening youtube.
Drinking tap water like in the old days.
Having Taxis turn on day fares at night.
"Global Warming is gonna pass by us"
Thanks to "direget", this guy is apparently a fictional candidate. He's last name means Take a breath and their slogan is "Turkey should take a breath". Check out his website here (Turkish).
Check the Greenpeace website here (in Turkish though).
