Let's Imagine Building a Digital Democratic Party: What should this party look like?

The number of political parties in the Republic of Turkey is increasing day by day. The number of political parties, which was 106 on June 24, 2021, was announced as 116 two months later.

New Turkey Thinking:

There is a longing for a new Turkey that has stirred up the political arena.

The number of political parties in the Republic of Turkey is increasing day by day. The number of political parties, which was 106 on June 24, 2021, was announced as 116 two months later. With the National Road Party, the latest version of Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu's school, which was established in mid-December, this number reached 117. Unless, of course, there is no other established party in between.

Every supply is the result of a demand. Turkey needs a new system and a new spirit. Otherwise, the political arena would not have been so fertile…

Internal and External Forces Together Block Democracy:

I've always thought: The EU is involved in everything from the candidacy and screening process and the early accession negotiations to kokorec, why not the anti-democratic Law on Political Parties? Or, the ruling and opposition claiming to be local and national within the country "doesn't pave the way for political parties that are often claimed to be under the leadership of the leader?"

There can be two experiential explanations for this: First, the EU and Western Civilization are stingy, regional, contrary to their claim to universality: “They never want the high quality and standards they set for their own citizens for the citizens of "other" countries. Well, why wouldn't the internal forces want this?

Secondly, the foreign powers that politicians are talking about never want politicians who come from the grassroots with the votes of the people -naturally-. Because it is not possible to convince all of the people, and it is a very expensive and laborious way to manipulate all of them. Instead, communicating with delegates or the leader is easy, fast, and inexpensive.

Digital Democratic Party:

Think about it, the Law on Political Parties has changed and it has become possible to establish a party suitable for digital democracy. All Mayors and Councils, Provincial Assembly, members of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and even the President are easily determined by party members through a simplified primary election with a computer application and a mobile application.

All elections, including general elections and primary elections, are made through the application with name-surname-TC No. Instead of the electoral aid given to those who were occupied before, treasury aid is provided to the parties, which is not exaggerated by the number of members… That's when a local and national, but also universal democracy is formed. The future of democracy, digital democracy despite hackers...

Unknown Party Name and Symbol

If I were to name the Unknown Party, I would name it the Digital Democrat Party. My gift to Generation Z. I would call the party statute the Party Constitution. I would briefly outline the establishment, values, goals, aims and principles, organs, functioning, duties, powers and responsibilities of the Digital Democratic Party, membership and discipline here. I would prepare a short bylaw since I would complete the issues that are not included in the constitution with a directive. Each member would have pledged to abide by the charter when registering with the party. from the heart…

I would make the Party's Headquarters out of clear glass. Let it be clear from the building that it is open to everyone. And here everything is in the interest of the country and citizens. This party would not have a red book hidden from the citizens, a dark room where the subjects that they do not want anyone to hear are discussed.

The symbol of the party was definitely an olive branch. It will give comfort to everyone. A party that will not fight with its citizens… Not at an equal distance from everyone, but at an equal closeness to everyone.

Digital Democrat Party Purpose, Target, Principles and Ethical Values

It would be our main goal for the Unknown Party to be known to the public. Let's write a few items:

The aim of the "Digital Democratic Party" is to maintain and raise its goals and values ​​within the parliament and the nation in unity and harmony through the policies included in its program for the struggle for civilization. In this framework, the general objectives of the Party are as follows;
The party sees democracy, which is the basis of politics, as its goal, takes its legitimacy from the nation and the law, and adheres to the values ​​of the Republic. It acts with the mind. The basic principle of the party is to create a fully independent, sovereign, reliable and reputable Turkey in the eyes of citizens and countries.
The party aims at economic, social and cultural Turkish Union in accordance with the meaning and purpose of 21st Century Turkish Nationalism.
The indivisible integrity of the Turkish Nation with its country and state will be preserved without allowing sacred values ​​to be instrumentalized, but by advancing on the path of modern civilization shown by the founder of our Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, within moral development. The party adopts national and religious issues and representatives as a common denominator, and sees politics as a means of producing under this common denominator, sharing fairly, living in dignity, adequate rest and self-development, and being an honorable member of the contemporary civilization world as a country.
The party is based on the application. His speech and action are one. Universal, national and spiritual values ​​that have been polluted in discourse will be kept alive in action. In this framework, the Party takes its power from the right and the people. The value of the party comes from serving its people.
The party will act with the awareness that in the materialist stage humanity has reached, the preservation of spiritual dynamics and the salvation of humanity is not in slavery to matter, but in material/spiritual balance, and will act in a civilized manner. 

It will provide social and social justice with an understanding.
Not a single citizen will be marginalized. The party protects everyone's freedom of conscience, religious belief and opinion, thought and expression, the right to organize unarmed and peaceful meetings and demonstration marches without prior permission, the right to freedom of association and education. The presumption of innocence will be fully implemented in all areas. It fights effectively against all kinds of discrimination (theoretical-systemic).
The party sees common values ​​not as a means of fighting, but as a means of unity. It perceives diversity as an area of ​​wealth and influence that will strengthen and enlarge its living space.
In the state governed by the party, the weakest gets his due from the strongest.
The party will build full democracy, starting from within. The rule of law based on the separation of powers is the first step towards this. It will be ensured that justice and fairness will be fully formed for everyone and everywhere, based on the principle that there is no natural judge and no crime and punishment without law. In this framework, the Party prioritizes the provision of justice for a strong people and a strong state.
The party sees sectoral and regional development as strategic.
Producing Turkey, fair sharing nation, rich and powerful country is the reference of the party.
The invisible barriers that lead the youth to despair will be removed. Work for everyone, food for everyone, vacation for everyone is a natural right.
The party will raise production, equity, peace and democracy in Turkey.
Transparency and accountability will spread throughout the country, starting from within the Party.
The party undertakes to act in accordance with the ethical principles specified in the regulation to be issued in all its business and transactions.
Some of the main goals of the "Digital Democrat Party" in order to achieve the goals of a respectable and strong state and a peaceful Turkey with honorable citizens are as follows:
Ensuring universal and high quality human rights,
Establishing a dignified living environment based on production,
Ensuring all freedoms, especially religion, conscience, belief and expression, raising generations with free conscience, free knowledge and free will,
Effective struggle against all kinds of violence, fear, oppression, marginalization and discrimination,
Human rights keep people alive, justice keeps the state alive. The State led by the party aims to strengthen the state by keeping the citizen it has authorized alive.
Giving services equally and fast, giving incentives to everyone who produces.
Building a public space free from waste and corruption,
Providing equal opportunities for youth, disabled and women, regions and all individuals,
Establishing a small but effective public administration and state by not looking for anything other than merit in recruitment, giving the job to those who are competent,
Establishing and strengthening strong institutions for internal-external peace-based policies,
Strengthening the family structure, reaching the ideal of livable cities and a free country with quality management.
Elective posts in the party cannot be longer than nine years. In order for this to spread throughout the country, the Party will make a constitutional arrangement when it comes to power.

The authority to decide on the partial or complete change of the Party's Bylaws and program rests with the Grand Assembly in accordance with the procedures specified in the law and statute.
The Grand Convention consists of all party members. Members make their elections democratically and securely with their name-surname-TC No, via computer application and mobile application.

It wasn't bad at all. Is not it?
