Conservative wins in Turkey and Alberta
This week Sam and Chern discuss results from the second round of Turkey’s presidential election, and the provincial election in Alberta, Canada. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has won another five year term following his first ever run-off election, but after the results of the first round, was this inevitable? How did Erdoğan win? What’s next for the Opposition and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu as they head into the 2024 local elections? And what might the democratic consequences be?
In Alberta, Danielle Smith’s United Conservatives, despite losing seats, have obtained another majority, but the NDP will form the largest opposition in
Albertan history. Why was this election so close, and which party has the most to be pleased about? In Canada’s most conservative province, are the Conservatives just too difficult to beat? And what will be the federal implications? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
