The loss of trust in the political institution stands out as one of the main reasons why this rate remains so high.<\/p>\n

Here are the details of the current situation:<\/p>\n

Undecideds and the Size of the \u201cGray Area\u201d<\/h3>\n

Raw Data: <\/strong>Bir\u00e7ok ara\u015ft\u0131rma \u015firketinin (Y\u00f6neylem, Metropoll, ASAL vb.) verilerine g\u00f6re, siyasi partilerin ham oy oranlar\u0131 topland\u0131\u011f\u0131nda geriye kalan “karars\u0131zlar”, “oy kullanmayacaklar” ve “cevap vermeyenler” blo\u011fu genellikle %20 ile %30 aras\u0131nda bir bantta seyrediyor.<\/p>\n

Distribution Effect: <\/strong>Before this mass is mathematically distributed to the parties, it forms an \u201cimaginary bloc\u201d that is sometimes even larger than the first party, AKP or CHP.<\/p>\n

Causes of Mistrust<\/h3>\n

Bu %30’luk kitlenin olu\u015fmas\u0131nda sadece karars\u0131zl\u0131k de\u011fil, do\u011frudan bir “siyasal tepki” yat\u0131yor.<\/p>\n

Economic Prospects:<\/strong> The broad masses, oppressed under the \u201chegemony of technology and capital\u201d that I have often mentioned, think that the current political actors are unable to produce concrete solutions to economic problems (inflation, livelihood problems).<\/p>\n

The Problem of Representation: <\/strong>A significant portion of the electorate, particularly young voters (Generation Z and Alpha), find the current political discourse distant and polarized.<\/p>\n

The Search for Alternatives:<\/strong> The inadequacy of the visions offered by the opposition and the government against the risks of the new world order such as \u201ctechno-feudalism\u201d and \u201ccapitalist surveillance\u201d puts voters in a \u201cwait-and-see\u201d mode.<\/p>\n

Comparison with the Past:<\/strong> 2024 yerel se\u00e7imlerinde kat\u0131l\u0131m oran\u0131n\u0131n %78 civar\u0131na d\u00fc\u015fmesi (yakla\u015f\u0131k 13 milyon se\u00e7menin sand\u0131\u011fa gitmemesi), bu %30’luk potansiyelin sadece bir “karars\u0131zl\u0131k” de\u011fil, bir “sand\u0131\u011f\u0131 protesto” e\u011filimine d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fcn ilk b\u00fcy\u00fck kan\u0131t\u0131yd\u0131. 2026’da bu e\u011filimin, yeni bir siyasi umut do\u011fmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 s\u00fcrece kemikle\u015fti\u011fi g\u00f6zlemleniyor.
\nHowever, in this situation, neither the AKP nor the CHP's race for first place matters.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong> \u201cThe weakening of the ability of nation states and politicians to produce solutions in the face of global capital due to the \u201dHegemony of Capital and Technology over States\u201c has created the perception in the public that \u201dit will not change no matter who comes\".<\/p>\n

Breaking this perception requires a determined opposition solidarity that can be an alternative and give hope.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
