• Editor's comment: The Six Party Table should focus not on what they will do after winning the elections, but on how they will win the elections and answer the question of who the candidate will be as soon as possible. In choosing a candidate, the opposition's chance of winning will increase if it chooses a candidate with a much higher voting potential, and more approval rating than Erdoğan, who could conceivably lose the election.
