The collapse of a political party does not start on election night.
\nThe collapse starts in the mind.<\/p>\n
First the idea weakens.
\nThen the principles stretch.
\nThen politics,
\nceases to be the will to transform society;
\nit becomes a giant corridor of personal careers.<\/p>\n
This is precisely the biggest rupture in Turkish politics today:
\nDe-ideologization.<\/p>\n
Because what you call ideology,
\nnot just a few fancy sentences in an election manifesto.<\/p>\n
Ideology;
\nis the ethos of a party.
\nIt is a view of the state.
\nIt is the answer to how to manage the economy.
\nIt is the character of its relationship with the public.<\/p>\n
Whether a party is really populist,
\ndetermines the attitude towards poverty.<\/p>\n
Whether you are a publicist or not,
\nwho delivers public resources to whom.<\/p>\n
And whether you are a Democrat or not,
\ntolerance of criticism within itself.<\/p>\n
Because the real political character,
\nnot in slogans of power,
\nreflexes at the moment of crisis.<\/p>\n
The problem in the CHP today is not just a governance debate.
\nThe issue is much deeper.<\/p>\n
Because there is now a serious ideological blurring.<\/p>\n
On one side:
\n\u201cpopulism\u201d, \u201csocial democracy\u201d, \u201cpublicism\u201d, \u201cequality\u201d, \u201cclean politics\u201d...<\/p>\n
On the other side:
\nnetworks of relationships,
\nclique wars,
\nposition accounts,
\npolitical immunity reflex
\nand the attempt to suppress every crisis with the language of propaganda.<\/p>\n
This is exactly what erodes public trust.<\/p>\n
Because people sometimes forgive defeat.
\nHe forgives mistakes.
\nHe forgives even incompleteness.<\/p>\n
But it does not forgive insincerity.<\/p>\n
For years:
\n\u201cThere is no resignation culture in AKP\u201d
\nthat says, \"I am a political movement,
\nas soon as it starts generating the same reflexes within itself,
\nit begins to lose its moral superiority.<\/p>\n
And it is not just about resignation.<\/p>\n
The real issue is this:<\/p>\n
Does a party have the courage to face what is wrong within itself?<\/p>\n
Or is everyone part of a silent consensus that protects each other's political comfort?<\/p>\n
Because in parties that have lost their ideology,
\npolitics ceases to be a struggle for the people;
\nIt becomes a closed circuit system where cadres distribute positions to each other.<\/p>\n
This is the biggest danger today.<\/p>\n
Because when the teaching disappears,
\nand the organization starts to unravel.<\/p>\n
And when the organization unraveled,
\nonly the signboards remain.<\/p>\n
\u201cPARTY ASSEMBLY OR POLITICAL COMFORT COALITION?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It is not only the leader that makes a political party strong. Real power; Because it is a party, This is precisely the biggest break in the CHP today.<\/p>\n Because there is no longer an ideological affiliation within the party, People are not defined by what they believe, The idea is being withdrawn. And this situation, Because what you call party discipline, Party discipline; An MP, Otherwise it is not discipline, People in Turkey today see a very clear contradiction.<\/p>\n For years: There is a failure. But there is no political responsibility.<\/p>\n No resignation.<\/p>\n There is no culture of paying the price.<\/p>\n And most importantly: While all this was going on, an important part of the Party Assembly was also, Whereas what you call PM, When it is needed: Party from cliques, But the picture today is quite the opposite.<\/p>\n Because for many people politics is now, Nobody wants to be left off the list. So the silence grows.<\/p>\n And in politics sometimes the biggest collapse, Because in structures where wrongdoing is not punished, This is precisely the biggest danger in the CHP today.<\/p>\n As the ideological backbone weakens, People are now And politics from that point on, This is the fundamental problem that undermines public trust in politics.<\/p>\n Because people don't just want slogans from parties anymore, He wants to see sacrifice.<\/p>\n He wants to see the courage to pay the price.<\/p>\n But most of the time they are against it: And a political movement, It begins to deny its own founding rationale.<\/p>\n \u201cTHEY SAID CHANGE, THEY BUILT A NEW STATUS QUO\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes the biggest manipulation in politics, Because in some periods the system does not change. This is exactly the essence of the debate in the CHP today.<\/p>\n Society: The old cadres may have changed. Because real change is not just about changing names.<\/p>\n Real change; You're at a party: There is no change there, And society now sees this.<\/p>\n Because people have been listening to the same sentences for years:<\/p>\n \u201cWe are different.\u201d But the question society is asking today is much more serious:<\/p>\n Who will you hold accountable?<\/p>\n Without any political cost to yourselves? The true character of a political movement, This is precisely where the fundamental historical break that the CHP is experiencing today emerges.<\/p>\n Because society is no longer only about power, And this questioning is perfectly legitimate.<\/p>\n Because parties that have lost their ideology, Parties that bend their principles, Parties that legitimize networks of relations, But political parties, What you call a party; The ideology of a party, It appears in agricultural policy. And most importantly: The biggest issue facing the CHP today is not elections.<\/p>\n The real issue is this:<\/p>\n Will the party be able to return to its ideological backbone?<\/p>\n Publicism, Or in networks of relationships that save the day, Because history has shown us time and again:<\/p>\n Parties that have lost their ideology, Parties that have lost direction, Parties that lose public trust, And sometimes a party is not destroyed by its opponent.<\/p>\n Its own silence, “\u0130deolojisini Kaybeden Parti Y\u00f6n\u00fcn\u00fc Kaybeder”<\/p>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":285945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[289],"class_list":{"0":"post-285943","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yazarlar","8":"tag-manset"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285943"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285946,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285943\/revisions\/285946"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nOften they are not even leaders.<\/p>\n
\ninstitutional wisdom.
\nOrganizational discipline.
\nAnd the courage to confront what is wrong in oneself when necessary.<\/p>\n
\nthe moment it loses its internal control,

\nIt starts to become a closed-loop mechanism of self-interest.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere is no resignation culture in AKP\u201d
\n\"the same political reflexes that are criticized,
\nis now being discussed within the CHP.<\/p>\n
\nThere is an erosion of trust.
\nThere is a serious crisis of public opinion.<\/p>\n
\nthere is no real introspection.<\/p>\n
\nUnfortunately, it fails to give the appearance of an independent and courageous political will to protect the party.<\/p>\n
\nis not a political notary office that only approves the decisions of the headquarters.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere is something wrong here\u201d
\nwhere he should be able to say.<\/p>\n
\nnetworks of personal relationships,
\nIt is the center that must be protected from the politics of saving the day.<\/p>\n
\nfrom being a struggle to transform society,
\nhas turned into a career protection mechanism.<\/p>\n
\nNobody wants to lose media support.
\nNobody wants to break away from the municipal circles.
\nNobody wants to be left out of the system.<\/p>\n
\nnot with loud crises,

\nthe wrong becomes the system itself over time.<\/p>\n
\norganized struggle is giving way to clique wars.<\/p>\n
