@paulafortin3811 He's not necessarily weak because he is soft-spoken. He is weak because he is dependent on the support of six different parties. This means he's going to be pulled in multiple directions all the time and he'll be spending most of his rule trying to preserve it by herding his cats.

@darginmahkum3190 You certainly know a lot more about this than I do. I'm basing my statement, not on the details in Turkey, but on the tendency of coalition governments to struggle to survive everywhere. If Kilicdaroglu is charismatic and astute enough to garner the long-term support of the majority of power wielders in Turkey, including the support of the people—particularly the people in the countryside, then he might be strong indeed. It would be a historical anomaly though, most coalition leaders don't last long and accomplish very little during their brief reigns. I certainly would like to see someone less conservative running things in Turkey. Before Erdogan came to power Turkey was the most progressive country in the region. It would be nice to see that again.

@darginmahkum3190 Well then, best of luck to you and to the people of Turkey. I hope it goes as well as you think it will.
