In politics there is such a thing as \u201cPlan B\u201d. It is usually the name of grand strategies, deep calculations, \u201cthe envelope that will be opened one day\u201d. But our Plan B is a bit different... It is more like a credit list to be given to the neighborhood grocery store: open-ended, unpredictable when it will be closed.<\/p>\n
In recent days, there has been a \u201cPlan B\u201d rumor going around. Recently, Journalist Engin Bal\u0131m shared a news, Are the immovable properties of CHP going to the October Party? Hop, agenda, previously journalist and former CHP deputy Bar\u0131\u015f Yarkada\u015f said \u201cThey established a party in Kad\u0131k\u00f6y\u201d and last month Journalist Atakan S\u00f6nmez received an SMS from somewhere saying \u201cOne Party\u201d. He reported it, so what's missing? Let's hang a banner saying \u201cwe're opening soon\u201d and we'll be complete.<\/p>\n
Then G\u00f6khan G\u00fcnayd\u0131n appeared on the Timur Soykan program and dropped the bomb: \u201cThere is a plan B.\u201d<\/p>\n
The only question on people's minds is: What is this plan?<\/p>\n
- Some call it a grand chess move.
\n- For some, it's a \u201cstand by in case of an absolute nullity\u201d bench...
\n- For some, it is classic Turkish politics: \u201cLet's pretend to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n
But what does history tell us? The fate of those who break away from the CHP and form new parties is usually the same. Those who remember remember: Muharrem \u0130nce tried one way, Emine \u00dclker Tarhan another... The result? A \u201cfootnote\u201d in political history books and a \u201clost line\u201d on the electoral ballot.<\/p>\n
Already in Turkey, the ballot paper is like a seamless shroud, like a graveyard of political parties that stretches on and on. You open it, page after page of party names. Some of them are old before they were born, some were shut down before they were founded. Voters are like \u201csolving puzzles\u201d at the ballot box:<\/p>\n
\u201cWho was this? When was this established?\u201d<\/p>\n
The picture does not look much different for the new parties to be established. They start with big claims, then the election day comes... The vote rate is as much as a piece of chewing gum from the grocery store.<\/p>\n
So this \u201cplan B\u201d is not like the fake Matrix scenario polls on social media.
\nIt's more like this:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf plan A doesn't work, plan B won't work either, but let's leave it aside.\u201d<\/p>\n
What is the truth? Time will tell, or perhaps it is the classic \u201cagenda distraction\u201d trick of politics.<\/p>\n
But one thing is certain:
\nAt this rate, we will be printing encyclopedias, not ballot papers.
\nAnd the voters will say this at the ballot box:<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I here to vote, or am I here for a party fair?\u201d<\/p>\n
If the October Party is established, there are those who say that it will come like a storm in the fall, it will not be a storm, it will be like a leaf blown in a storm.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
