Turkey was in such a situation before, and then the Welfare party was forbidden.

But they can't keep forbidding such parties everytime, because it will anger people and maybe spark terrorists actions or even a civil war.

Even when they get 30% of the votes, there will have to be a coalition, and there is still a 70% that could join to stop them.

Coalitions, even in Europe are always a tightrope - with the increase in muslim population in Turkey and the differing views on the Turkey/Kurd relationship - it is not going to be easy to hold it all together - at least the way that we would like to see it structured,
