Imagine kissing the arse of some corrupt wannabe despot who builds personal palaces using public funds. What a gullible fool one must be, eh Turkic755 ?
LuuuL, its funny how all economists universties profs journalists etc was mocking with Erdogan's move to lower interest rates, claiming its against the rules of the economy. Now the same people say raising interest rates will cause complete destruction of the economy in the medium and long term.

Have you ever considered that perhaps economics is a bit more complicated than you think, and that raising or lowering interest rates might have different effects during different circumstances?

Where’s the “Erdogan’s time is up” thread?

This came after abruptly halting a TV interview for “health reasons”, rumoured to be a heart attack by Twitter shitposters but more reliable sources suggest stomach problems, a euphemism for the shits perhaps. Maybe he browned himself during the TV interview and scuttled away before the interviewer caught a whiff of it. Awkward.

Some 80% larger every year, like the Turkish currency for the last 40 years…

Seems strange voting for an authoritarian leader who led the nation to 80% inflation during his watch.
Still, what do I know?
80% inflation is hard to fathom, you would have to spend your money immediately you got it or see it wither immedietaly. I wonder what the rich people are buying, if there are any rich people left?

Weirdly apparently lots of Turkish ex pats voted for him whilst living in more liberal European countries. Maybe they just wanted cheap trips to Turkey.

The money they earn outside the country is suddenly worth a load more I guess.

I was in Istanbul last month, and I know that isn't a very good sample to judge the rest of the country but it was very easy to see why people would vote for him - there are a lot of new things around, like the metro, the Marmaray, the big airport, various roads, new and refurbished mosques, the aircraft carrier (which showed up for people to walk around whilst I was there) and the drones etc. The shops were full and the food was (compared to here anyway) relatively cheap. The whole place seemed to me somewhere that at least gave the impression of being on the up, much more so than here.
There was a lot of pro-Erdogan content on a lot of those new things as well of course, especially on the videos playing on new part of the metro between the airport and town. Even the little rope that ordered the queue of people visiting the relics of the prophet (at the Topkapi Palace) had a comment on it saying it was the President of the republic that was allowing this.
