Brio,
Before Turkey take over the EU could you tell us what in the Lisbon Treaty helps them to get in?
The reality is they will not get in decades at a minimum

Does Nice mention a number or does it not ?Originally Posted by ibis
We are aware that new states may join on the basis of accession treaties.
I think Lisbon ends the veto on further Enlargement, so it really is a vote on Turkish membership. No to Turkey - no to exploitation and displacement. Also the plan to rotate the Commissioners in Lisbon is clearly part of an agenda of making Turkish entry more feasible. Vote no.
Bonkers threads like this remind me of what I might (metaphorically) wake up beside the day after the vote.
Between Mary Lou McDoughnut, Niamh Nic TwinEvils, Dick Roche and Giscard d'Estaing it's been a close-run race. thus far.
That's it. I've tipped over into the "Yes" camp.

You know what - I'd have an awful lot more respect for some of the No side (eg SF, Libertas) if they came out and said look we're for a No vote but don't get swayed by bullcrap like this (or the abortion, prostitution, euthanasia etc) arguments because they are a load of crap. You should vote no because .... etc
At least then whilst I would disagree with them (more than likely) I could at least have respect for their telling the truth on these spurious stupid issues.
Joe Higgins (for example) was given the opportunity to step his campaign away from the "Vote No to stop abortion" side of things on the radio today and to be fair he was fairly weak in side-stepping the direct question put to him.
FT I know this is completely bizaare for you but just once why dont you actually come out with some verifiable proof about the claims you make...just this once as a favour?Originally Posted by FutureTaoiseach

Turkish membership will be a calamity for the EU. THere is a real danger that current membership talks will give Turkish accession an unstoppable momentum. The governments of UK and Finland are the chief promoters of this lunacy. Needless to say the people of the EU (including UK and Finland) do not wish to see Turkish accession in any circumstances.Originally Posted by FutureTaoiseach
