Turkey's elections, isn't it the economy, stupid ?
Without any geopolitical consideration, just the situation on the ground, I don't understand why people vote for Erdogan. Sure he was there when Turkey's economy improved greatly, but it has been years since it's in crisis, crazy inflation, currency falling, corruption leading to the death and destruction caused by the earthquake (nothing was built according to code...), political opponents imprisoned... Why would you vote for more of the same ? Are we confident the election is "fair" ? I put fair in quotes because I mean the electoral process itself (no tampering with votes, death people voting etc.), I know already it isn't really fair when Erdogan uses all the might of the state to campaign for him.

Surely it's a case of better the devil you know than the devil you don't. It's as simple as that.
