Do you think Turkish people are generally more political? I ask this because of my wife's latest doings. She helped found a local Turkish society here in the UK; within two weeks, there were two separate splinter groups, all arguing with each other as to who was the real Turkish Society. Likewise, there is a national Turkish Society, arguing the odds with the national Turkish Federation.
It's all rather fun. |

Definitely more than Americans. Turks remind me of what Americans seemed to be like around 1910-1930, at least from what I've read.
But I think Americans are special for how little people generally care about the nuances of politics... |

| Every one arguing with each other. Sounds like the Tories. |

there's a rumour that the entire population of Turkey will be running for leader of the Conservative party...  |
