I found the interview with @selinsayekboke on @BBCr4today so inspiring - about the 'radical love' and the core values campaign against Erdoğan's party in the Istanbul mayoral election. About fighting populism with inclusive politics. From 2:40 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
"... the populist trend in Turkish politics comes through one which divides people through their ethnic identity... we need a politics where people can come together around their core values, best symbolised by caring for each other". I'll take it!
Is there an English language copy of the 'radical love' pamphlet they were discussing? Or one which I can run through Google translate?
I have found Radical Love! dijitalmecmua.chp.org.tr/CHPRadikal%20S… 
This is lovely
Preach!
Very interesting that this is all focussed on values and not on rights. No mention of human rights, just vague reference to "justice, freedom, equality"
The whole thing has quite a religious feel to it - focusses on politics in the small places, closer to home.
