On a more serious political point, people are saying that Reg has been contained politically by the lack of sufficient parliamentary majority to achieve his dream of a Presidential autocracy. Don't be so silly! It is as Reg said before the election, he has 'de facto' got all he wants, as Prime Minister and Ministers queue up at the Presidential Palace to get their orders and attend all government meetings. The opposition have failed to date to recognise this and have avoided going to the palace, but I suspect Reg is not bothered, but when he has the time and inclination he will bring them to heel.
After all, like it or not, he has the overwhelming support of the Turkish people. Perhaps now some people will take off their rose tinted glasses view of the Turkish people's view of Turkey and the world.
Credit where credit is due Reg has played a political blinder both tactically and strategically since the failed June General Election. If you know your history you will see great similarity to the way Reg has acted and the final rise of Hitler and Nazism in 1933. And like Hitler, Reg is on a journey to an end point that we would not care for and even understand, and the last few months and Sunday' election are a but a milepost on that journey.
