- Abstract
This paper, essentially, offers some suggestions for breaking away from the practice of democracy, which is merely considered as a means for power in Turkey's political life. The first part of the paper analyses the reasons for why and how the functioning of democracy in Turkey has been reduced to an instrument for power, mainly focusing on 1946, a period of transition from one-party system to a multi-party one. Turkey's story of transition to the multi-party system is also the story of political crises led by a political practice focused on maximizing the number of votes. The second part deals with these political crises. In the third part, the ways of carrying out an election campaign are dealt with. The election campaigns provide an important insight into Turkish democracy, because the political practice in Turkey attaches great significance to winning an election. In the last part, I offer some solutions to prevent democracy becoming a tyranny of the majority due to the campaign strategies adopted?, and make some suggestions on how to develop a comprehensive understanding of democracy and its political culture, which would allow a full realization of human right to dignified life.
