Political identities are formed through politics in one aspect and identity formation in the other. Political identities are shaped through parties and become functional through political parties. The reflection of the dialectical relationship between political identity and political party is naturally also seen in political choice. In this context, lifestyle is also an important phenomenon in terms of political identity and political choice. Lifestyle refers to a phenomenon that includes individuals’ values, interests, social relations, practices and political preferences in daily life. Individuals’ lifestyle can affect daily life practices as well as their views on various events, their political identities and their political preferences.
