Its actually a good thing UBP being in power. Why? Because it will be easier to secure a YES vote in the referenda if the govt (which will be UBP) is backing it.
Omer; regarding the Cyprus problem, what divergence of opinion has been between TC and Turkish governments since mid 50s? Do u think TCs don't need political support of Turkish governments for a solution based on TC thesis? GC leadership ask political support of not only Greece but Russia, China, Serbia etc.; what's wrong with TC leadership askin Turkey's political support under the circumstances of last 50 years? Why do u call TC-Turkey relations as dictation of Turkey upon TCs? Weird indeed.
Insan, wake up!!! You do not ask for political support from Turkey! Turkey is your government! You have no saying in anything! Turkey decides for you! You are hopeless!
I agree with Kifeas. Bravosou Kifeas. I wish more T/Cs understood this. Perhaps then we as Cypriots could play this game better.
Turkey has control in every single area of north Cyprus life at EVERY SINGLE LEVEL.
Do not under estimate Turkey.
Ankara has so many opinion polls and surveys carried out every day by its people. The Turkish Embassy in Nicosia has a file on every single TRNC citizenship. They are like the East German Stasi Secret Police; they knew everything and especially who would win three months ago and so they plan accordingly. A large number of secret police and informants guard Turkey's occupied area.
However, lets not be negative, in this Stat German style set up, it could be or it looks like Turkey wants a YES vote. Therefore an UBP victory (supported by Turkey) might not be a bad thing.
It might be planned by Turkey who now wants a solution so it can influence the talks more to get itself a good deal for itself. And so there is no Cyprus obstacle for Turkey in December so it can get closer to joining the EU.
One thing I am certain of Insan is that this election has nothing to do with the representation and well-being of the T/Cs alone. The TRNC authorities at any one time are a cohabitation of interests; Turkey's interests primarily and those T/C interests that happen to be aligned with Turkey; the rest forget it.
