My personal analysis for the AKP vote increase briefly outlined below:
1. There was no better alternative for AKP. CHP (especially with the current leader) has a known but unfavorable standing. MHP and DSP have been tried during the last coalition government (though they were in the coalition not in full power, so couldn't reflect their programs). DYP and ANAP couldn't unite so lost lots of votes. And the rest were already hopeless because of their less chance of entrance to the parliament.
2. CHP (again with the current leader) has a gap in its communication with the public. There is a big status change (in people's mind) of CHP such as they are a higher class of people away from public reality.
3. Although there are still debates about the economical achievements during the previous ruling period, the economical parameters were good (at least the ones appeared in the media) to change the opinions.
4. The local managements of AKP worked so hard to earn the votes.
These are the major reasons I have in my mind for now ...
I am not a conspirator but I like conspiracies. Because I believe they are kind of brain storming until/unless they cause mental ilness :).
So here is my conspiracy about the election: AKP won the election because the US and EU supported them. The reason for the US support is obvious because of Turkey's position with the current government for Iran and Iraq cases. For EU support, Europe (the majority) doesn't want Turkey in EU. But there are already given promises. Although the current government has done so many regulations about Europe compatability, it is possibly the main party opposing Turkey's accession to EU because of its roots. By the way this is not a criticism, I think an/a economical/trading collaboration is a better option for AKP voters as we have different moral values, religion etc. (that is a reality).
