How many Astartes do you know that roll like this?

Something a bit weird about it, though --- it's a unanimous vote of ... less than half a parliament, if the tweet I saw was right (and the Turkish parliament on Wikipedia wasn't some other weird thing). I wonder what their quorum rules are?

Edit: https://mobile.twitter.com/ragipsoylu/status/1641548223255805954

They seem to have 577 of the 600 seats filled, and 276*2=556.

I am probably reading too much on this, but I fail to understand the politics --- multi-party unanimity on one hand, but half the chamber not showing up on the other? Some sort of "it's not actually that important for Turkey" thing?

I'm no expert on Turkiye's political system, but if there is unanimous support and everyone knew it wasn't going to be a close vote then all the politicians simply didn't need to be there until midnight to push the vote through. Plenty of politicians would be happy to take the early mark and not have to be in Ankara for the vote
