One of the big stories underway in Turkey is the process by which the ruling party is pulling in opposition leaders at both the municipal level and, more importantly, in parliament

Matteo Renzi 🇮🇹, Emmanuel Macron 🇫🇷 & Pieter Omtzigt 🇳🇱were all hailed as democratic saviors who would deliver a “post-populist” politics. In different ways, all three have done incredible damage to the politics in their countries, leaving the “populists” (= far right) even more entrenched.
