I assume you mean a 'secular' Turkey might be? Why is the membership still in-process? It's only suspended. Why was it even started? Yes sorry, you are correct Membership is still in process but it’s effectively mothballed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 1 hour ago, woodview said: How would having the largest block of MEPs coming from a muslim country affect things? What do you mean by a Muslim country? A Muslim state or a country where the majority of citizens adhere to Islam? A Muslim state would never be admitted to the EU as you would never get convergence on laws with a country that has the death penalty, and laws that discriminate against women, gay people and citizens of a differing religion. A modern secular Turkey which shared European laws and values would be an asset to the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Turkey a member of the EU is 100% sky pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’m not sure how many EU countries are in favour of Turkey joining the EU, but if there is only one, then that is one to many for me. If the EU has had talks with Turkey, even if it was in the past and mulling with idea of Turkey joining, then that alone for me is one good reason to leave the EU. I do believe at some stage in the future the EU will start talks with Turkey about membership of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the one that was strongly in favour is leaving the EU. the question is - why is it ‘to many’ (sic) for you? It is clear you don’t understand how the EU works from that statement alone. All it needs is one EU nation against it and it’ll never happen. Now ring a Greek friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate typical keyboard warrior comment. Have the discussion like a normal person, by throwing in 'uneducated' you expose your bitter prejudice against anyone who doesn't share your opinion.

I am tired of educating pork. You and others have shown a determined willingness to be stubborn in the face of overwhelming reasoning that your opinions are wrong or ill judged. This is just an other example. I am simply calling it as it is. Plans are afoot to stop us crashing off a cliff. A no deal planned to be ruled out along with a delay or cancelling of Article 50. Great news and excellent demonstration of our sovereign Parliament. Edited January 20, 2019 by ez8004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
