While AKP Deputy Chairman Mehmet Özhaseki criticizes the coming together of the six opposition parties for the "Strengthened Parliamentary System", he has to praise the current system.
 
Declaring that the masters of the job are at the work, he says that the order works like clockwork.
 
We have no objection to Özhaseki's opposition to the opposition's demand for a "Strengthened Parliamentary System"!
 
Of course, while someone is counting the benefits of the parliamentary system, one can also list the disadvantages of the parliamentary system.
 
This is a matter of preference!
 
The point that draws our attention is the claim that the current order works like clockwork!
 
At first we thought of opposing this thesis. But then we thought that a lot of things really work like clockwork!
 
For example, the Treasury and Finance ministers are changing like clockwork. While we read that one's request for pardon was accepted, we learn that the other was appointed to replace the one who was forgiven.
 
There is no interruption in these works.
 
Then, the heads of the Central Bank are changed like clockwork. How negotiable such changes used to be between coalition partners, right?
 
Now everything is taken care of at once. Those who put their heads on the pillow at night as an authority figure, when they look at the Official Gazette in the morning, learn that their request for pardon has been accepted.
 
Then the fuel price hikes are also working smoothly.
 
The hikes that were made "days later" in the past are now made "daily". In other words, fuel hikes are also ticking!
 
The label prices of the markets are no different from the fuel prices! Changes to tags work perfectly.
 
Some markets explain that they had to employ staff just for this raise. Even the basic foodstuffs of the people get their share from these price hikes.
 
People's bread prices are almost doubled.
 
Yes, the order is working smoothly, as AKP Deputy Chairman Mehmet Özhaseki has stated.
 
How can it be claimed otherwise?
