Sounds like the Turkish electorate is OK with Prime Minister Erdogan and his party for another term, however, they're not willing to hand them the keys to the car just yet- as the AK failed to achieve the number of seats necessary to re-write the country's constitution however they please...
In general, I think that's a good thing. I know there are Conservatives out there that see the spread of perfidious Islamism whereever they look, but Erdogan has been doing OK with their economy from what I can tell and people seem generally content with the AK's governance thus far.
It will be interesting to see what happens should they ever get the seats they need to really start making changes to the Constitution. The Turkish Military has been fairly non-interventionist for a number of years now, but go too far and it'd be interesting to see what might happen.
