Oh, but I very much am NOT a leftist, I vote right wing in NL. That is, economic right wing. Conservative, as in, no pumping of money/credit. Being austere. Friend, the TL is dropping against the Euro too, not just the Dollar. The policy of 'just throw the money out and see where it lands' has to quit. Turkey sadly doesn't have the luxury of printing money, like the US or the EU can, and actually has to produce GOODS for all that money. What about Turkey's gigantic TRADE deficit? Account deficit? Spending like a drunken sailor can't be right. Emptying the Eastern Provinces into big shiny new buildings in Istanbul, built on crap credit is NOT the way to build an economy. Turkey has to fuc king IMPORT FOOD. Can you believe it? Look, I am not anti-religious, I understand secularism was forced on the people for almost a century, but people have to wake up and smell the roses. Not only are his foreign policies destructive, internal policy isn't much better too. Calling Alevis 'fire worshippers' aren't things you can do for f-ing votes.
And funny thing about many foreign Turks: vote RIGHT in Turkey, vote LEFT in Europe (left as in bigger welfare etc). That's not the way it should be.
