No voters are more Nationalistic than Yes voters.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Apparently ~75% of Turks living in Austria voted for Yes.
I wonder how many of them are planning to move back to Turkey.

more than 98% of the vote is already counted. So it's pretty much a definite yes.
Fuck my life, I want nothing more than to leave this country and never come back.
This whole region is fucked by "strong"men.

Well, it's over and the result is as expected. The small margin of victory and an unknown number unstamped ballots getting counted will cause some serious legitimacy issues but Erdogan will smash his iron fist on anyone who could oppose the result so it won't matter.
The courts sure as heck won't start an investigation or call for a re-count after all the purges.

Oh geez I wonder what those invalid votes were for. Because that's far above the realistic margin of people voting for Mickey Mouse.

The West laments the loss of civility and sensibility it had as early as a couple years ago.
I've lived under this insipid fuck FOR MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE AND I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

It's baffling. If Erdogan is so great, if the European Union is filled with fascists and nazi's, then why the fuck are you still staying here?
Don't say that out loud, you may be forbidden to leave the country if erdogan hears you
I wonder if the low margin will trigger erdogan to take even more opponents hostage.
Free Money?
It could also be some kind of plan by Erdogen to get into the EU and eventually become a Dictator of that.

I can always leave Earth if I can't leave Turkey
I seriously don't know how far I would go if I had to stay here for the rest of my life.

I have to correct myself: So far only ~3000 votes in Austria have been counted, so that number will probably change.

Fuck :/ I'm sorry to all of you who have to deal with this now.
Better standard of living, fuck you i've got mine etc...
But still invested in seeing a "strong" Turkey not bend to the will of these Euro fascist fucks.

Then again there is a very large difference in voting between European and American Turks.
http://secim.haberler.com/2017/referandum-yurtdisi-sonuclari/
80-90% for NO in America and 60-70% for YES in Europe
Currently 80% YES in my city Antwerp, depressing stuff.
When does the new Caliphate become installed? I'm not even joking all that much.
Well for the time being, you need to calm down. It's almost 2 years for those changes to take effect and with how the political landscape develops/changes rapidly who knows what's gonna happen.
However, i am also nervous since the far-right nazi(proven) party of my country is gaining huge momentum lately.

Amazing. Turks in America are as integrated as you could possibly wish for.
Europe is depressing but not surprising.
Sorry to see this, Turkey.
The purge will continue indefinitely.

Ah. So not quite yet. Hmm.
More proof that Americans and Europeans should be mindful of the different situations when they discuss (Muslim) immigration.

He also imprisoned thousands of political enemies (among other people) and pretty much took over most of the media in Turkey.

I'll be going abroad for university in 1.5 years. I'll be fine. It'll be a hellish 1.5 years, but I'll be fine. It's my friends and family that I'm depressed about.
Of course, that too.

Really interesting to see American and English (and Spanish?) Turks voting No, compared to most of the rest of Europe.
Well, what a shitshow. My condolences to Turkish-GAF.

The huge differences between countries are pretty interesting. Any explanations for those?Or, apparently not if this map is accurate
High council for elections says only 70 percent of the votes are counted, not 99 percent. They are debating whether the unsealed votes should count or not.
Over 1.5 million unsealed votes are counted. The difference is 1.3 million. Shit could change. It's gonna be a long night.

I believe they are not final. In Germany for example only ~20% of votes have been counted

I suppose the level of having integrated sufficiently in a country versus not feeling accepted by said country. It's a pretty complex issue that you won't be able to explain in a few words.
Yes, guest workers.
Companies in Benelux, Austria, Germany and Scandinavia scoured the countrysides of, among others, Anatolia in the seventies looking for cheap illiterate laborers to do strenuous manual work in the factories. These never left the host countries and now make up the majority of Turkish immigrants living there.
(Also from the Maghreb and Italy, though obviously the Italians all integrated well over time. The Moroccans have problems with crime and radicalism, the Turks are not integrated but generally don't have other problems, just backwards ideas.)

WHAT THE FUCK
Watching it myself, and yeah.
Whahaahahahhahahahat. Fucking wild at this point.
A CHP member is currently alleging that the electoral body's decision falsefully counts 1.5M votes supposed to be void.
Possibly the nature of the integration (e.g. in Germany the turks don't feel like they belong) and maybe the specific demographic that immigrated (laborers, academics, etc).
Erdogan's gotta massage those vote numbers, winning by 51% is embarrassing I suppose.
just saw 2.5M votes as the number given.
