Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Erdoğan has long been "removing checks on his own power and manipulating state institutions to give his party electoral advantages", said Foreign Affairs.
45% : Until last week, its government could still be classed as a "competitive authoritarian regime" by political scientists.
41% : But with this "brazen act of political suppression, the Turkish government has taken a momentous step towards full-fledged autocracy". What did the commentators say? Turkey is "nearing a point of no return", said The Economist.
