Assuming MPs are relatively not unintelligent, how are AK Party members and opposition MPs letting this happen?

That baffles me completely.

 Going downhill fast, with no brakes and a driver intent on winning at all cost. How long before women are stripped of the right to vote?.

Yes, indeed. 

AK Party members and opposition MPs letting this happen?

AKP members want this - maybe not the majority but a high proportion.  The only practical opposition is the CHP and HDP, the former don't have enough seats and most of the latter are in jail.

The MHP sold out and are backing the changes.  Forty pieces of silver comes to mind.

 Did I read somewhere that the MHP agreed to back this in return for the death penalty being restored?

I think you'll find their price runs far deeper and, ultimately for the Turkish people, more costly than that.

Yes. Sadly, I think you are right.

AKP members want this


Yes I know. Let's see how much they still want it after a year or two of the RTE one man show.
