Historically, many countries have sought to establish a more stable governmental system. At world scale; it is seen that the most common systems of government in practice today are "presidential", "semi-presidential" and "parliamentary system". The obstacles in the governmental systems are instability in the administration which starts the search for new system. Along with the new governmental system proposals in Turkey, it was begun to be argued that the "Turkish Type", "Presidential Parliamentary System", "Half Presidency", "Presidency" and "Party Presidency" models in Turkey wanted a stable government. In Turkey, the influence of pressure groups such as the categorized business world and media have been included in the system discussions, though those discussions were not carried out in a comprehensive manner. Deficiencies in Turkey, especially in the culture of political reconciliation, political instability, ineffectiveness of members of the legislative body, can be seen as the factors that trigger the search for new systems. This study will focus on the new positional arguments in the context of the system discussions in Turkey on behalf of stable and long-term management, discussing the proposals of constitutional amendments in terms of probable deficiencies, political instability, and ineffectiveness of legislative members
