Title: General Election Date
Post by: usedbustickets on March 03, 2011, 16:07:30 PM
So the Turkish General Election is to be held on 12th June.  As a keen observer of the world of politics I'll be taking a particularly keen view of events as we are over in Calis in June.  The Present Mrs UsedBustickets, however, is less keen to observe during her valued holiday period, so I may have to observe on some occassions from the pool/bar/sun bed/Lokantasi. 8)

Based on other people's previous experience, what's the thing to be looking out for, and indeed avoiding, during a general election period?

I would suggest buying some DECENT Ear-Defenders, as the bloomin' racket from the continuous convoy of canvassing mini-buses etc., will drive you bonkers!!!!  :o ;)
