Agreeing to one non European country would and could open the door to countries from Cape Verde to Kazakhstan. So a country that straddles continents (nice use of area % rather than population % btw ) shouldn't be allowed to join? I'm also unsure how a country that is partly in Europe is the same as a country that isn't in Europe at all 6 minutes ago, girvanTA said: Macedonia and their dispute with Greece could and probably would see Greece blocking Macedonian membership from the EU and Nato, again creating hostile relations between the two. So Macedonia won't be able to join then? You've just contradicted yourself 6 minutes ago, girvanTA said: Serbia has far longer-standing, and more permanently damaging problems, that are slowing and halting its progress in many directions, firmly rooted over decades in social structure Nice copy and paste... I'd question what you know about the social issues in Serbia and how they would "damage" the EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girvanTA Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I think the eu is out of date, power hungry and corrupt, thats my opinion which im entitled too. Many of us wont agree on certain things with regards to the eu and thats fine I can accept that, but there are many people on this tamb that cant. If anyone disagrees with them then they're a racist, xenophobe with right wing views. Its absolute pish tying to defend yourself while giving an answer to why voting leave would be a good thing. I have received hate mail through private messages on facebook after they have read stuff on here, which Iv deleted (you know who you are!) and this will be my last post before deleting my account, cant be ####ed with the aggro good luck to whoever you're voting for All the best Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you might pick up on that. but TBH you are guilty of the same which is a shame really... Well that was nasty :lol:. There was no negativity meant by my post, I even called you Sheddy Baby, a spin off a term of endearment usually reserved for a good friend of mines who's name is Sheik.

On that topic, can anyone see Cyprus agreeing to Turkeys ascension into the EU? What with Turkey "occupying" half their country. Not getting into any Cyprus debates, but would they be open to this happening? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds familiar, if the uk decides to leave, the eu ministers ( what's their names again) have said there will be tariffs on any trade, Obama says if the uk leave they will be at back of que and that khunt Osborne says he is going to put up taxes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ive been surprised by some people who say they are voting out, still the vast majority of people are voting to remain, but theres been a few eye openers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyprus is in Europe for historical reasons not geographical. Although the geographical argument isn't a good one, which is why everyone latched onto it and ignored the border argument which is a thornier problem.

Are they not standing in chevrons? I know this thread is hardly the pinnacle of constitutional discourse but weird darts at individual representatives is just petty and small.

Alan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 It's a dart of respect. Abandoning party politics for wider cross party campaign involving Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Green and people of no party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that you are asking me but any excuse. From a purely selfish point of view almost everything says vote Remain. Yet still I would vote Leave. I think the EU started as a great idea a common market where we all get richer but has now been hi-jacked by whanks with a let's disolve nation states philosophy (and form this big weird euro fukk knows what). The behaviour of Germany to Greece shows this is not a community. Everyone who joined the euro must be thinking feck what a mistake how do we ever get out of this 'club' now? It is still a good idea but as a common market not a common nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
