While Turkey’s opposition alliance inspires little hope as an economic savior, its reduction of Turkey’s democratic deficit and crisis to a question of the power of the presidency and the solution to a restoration of parliamentarianism obfuscates what really cripples Turkish democracy.

Even if the opposition alliance were to prevail electorally, which is by no means certain, it will not alter Turkey’s course.
