Today, the left wing movement in Turkey is in disarray not only because the main opposition "left-wing" Republican People's Party (CHP) has seriously failed left wing supporters all over the country. But the CHP has failed to come up with viable policies to counter the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), and has built its opposition only on insulting, complaining and accusing. The party has failed to copy the "new left" concept begun by Bill Clinton and enhanced in various European countries. It cannot produce any alternative policies to what the AK Party is doing. Thus the CHP has been condemned to become the perennial main opposition party with little impact.The frustrated CHP leaders have tried to enlist some right wing help fielding conservative candidates in various elections, and at times recruiting conservative politicians for their executive bodies. They have even gone to the extremes of naming conservative Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu as a joint candidate for the presidency with the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), and have thus come under criticism from CHP supporters who accused the party of failing to even name its own candidate at the elections.Since then the CHP has not learnt its lesson. Instead of producing alternative policies to the innovative projects of the AK Party, the CHP has preferred to continue seeking right-wing help to bolster its votes by recruiting conservative politicians among their ranks. It seems they do not understand that if they played the game by trying to consolidate the left-wing votes, what they are doing now amounts to actually further fractionalizing these votes, and thus gives a helping hand to the AK Party.Meanwhile, the CHP is now making a futile effort to join forces with the Democratic Left Party (DSP) of late Bülent Ecevit. They are trying to create the image that they are moving to unite the left-wing movements in Turkey. However, this move should be regarded as too little too late. The DSP is no longer the political force that brought Ecevit to the office of prime minister. In fact, it is not even the shadow of the old DSP.The CHP crowd is also trying to imitate the radical left-wing front that won the Greek elections. What they seem to miss is the fact that the Greek people faced with total economic collapse opted for the radicals as an act of desperation. Is there such desperation in Turkey? Of course not. On the contrary, there is every indication that about half of the voters still support the AK Party and are satisfied with the way Turkey is being run.On the other hand, the pro-Kurdish People's Democracy Party (HDP) is hoping to enter the elections and pass the 10-percent threshold by courting the CHP voters who are disenchanted by the party. What has encouraged the HDP is the performance of its co-chairman Selahattin Demirtaş, who was a candidate at the presidential elections, and who put on an impressive performance - so much so that he won 9.76 of the votes. Demirtaş, with his populist speeches, peaceful and mature attitude and messages, won the hearts of some CHP supporters. Demirtaş also did not play the Kurdish card and preferred to portray himself as a politician of Turkey.Now the HDP wants to create the Demirtaş phenomenon in the June parliamentary elections, and with a bit of a left-wing push, pass the 10-percent threshold. Thus, they are intending to join forces with the extreme left wing Freedom and Solidarity Party (ÖDP) to push their votes higher. This too seems to be a futile effort.The HDP should understand that the left-wing masses in Turkey are unfortunately rather conservative when it comes to Kurdish rights, and are not as enthusiastic as the AK Party is to settle the Kurdish issue. So the ongoing incidents in southeastern Turkey, where some elements of the PKK are still sabotaging the peace process, is being noted by CHP supporters who blame the HDP and Demirtaş, who urged the militants Kurds to take to the streets to protest Kobani.Demirtaş performed well at the presidential elections, but his actions and speeches since then show he has forgotten that people voted for him because he portrayed himself as a politician of Turkey and not a Kurdish activist.
