It will be interesting to see how all this shakes out in regards to elections in the countries in turmoil.

The old Ba'ath party system in most countries lead to an effective one party system where only Ba'ath party members put up the name of the one ruling the country for leader in the elections.

The parlimentary system will lead to a number of factions. It will be interesting to see the power of each faction.

Which relates back to Turkey. Seeing how a faction gains power and then uses it's power to cement it in place.
