Feti Yıldız, Deputy Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), has advocated for stricter regulations regarding the Political Parties Law in Turkey. He initially emphasized the need to prevent parties from being used for personal or economic gain, suggesting that tighter criteria for establishing parties could prevent “bargaining parties” from engaging in blackmail. Expanding on this critique, Yıldız ~~later~~ categorized the country’s 189 political parties into different typologies, specifically targeting what he termed ‘tabela partileri’ (signboard parties). He argued that some individuals view party formation as more profitable than starting a company and alleged that certain organizations use the guise of politics to mask illegal activities, such as gambling and betting mechanisms, thereby corrupting the democratic process. In recent developments, Yıldız has reiterated his call for reforms to the political party system, suggesting that a new election law compatible with the Presidential Government System is necessary to address the current landscape of 189 registered political parties.
