From BBC News -
"What has the ruling party been saying?
The AKP - or Justice ( ) and Development Party - alleges "invalid votes and irregularities in most of the 12,158 polling stations in Ankara".
Does this suggest that this will be "handled" as all other opposition has been disposed of?
It has been reported/"alleged" that all (or most) opposition media (TV, newspapers) have been shut down/emasculated/castrated i.e shut down (with some individuals imprisoned) - so will the "eventual" results - in a few weeks - show a complety different outcome....?
Politics is a wonderful game.....

To answer the quesiton, mine is definitely (1) but it is no contest as I do not at present have access to UK TV anyway!

However even if I had the answer would have been (1) because I live here permanently and it is my home so it is of greater importance in my life.

My answer would still have been (1) if if there had been a third option of you know what (the B word)
