moreover , the party system in turkey is a client-based system. people vote for them who promises to them access to public funds / contracts etc. dont epect too much ideology in their decision. besides , there is no real left in turkey for people to vote for.
The client-based system is also working in Greece the clients (voters) go to the politicians asking personal favors (mostly to get a job as a public servant)
I think this is common ottoman tradition (like baksheesh)
it is more rushvet than baksheesh...in Greece , it is colour-based system..''the blue kids'' and ''the green kids''
Not only the blue and the green kids but also the area that you are coming from or the family .This is the reason that many Athenians travel in the ancestry area to vote because there they have more close contact with the politicians, provincial caciques .
The problem for the parties are the people that don't have nothing to gain personally (like me ) and expecting some improvement to their life from general policies .These people are undetermined (about 600000 in Greece) and ... they are leaving one party for the other .
