Another EU referendum
« on: June 23, 2016, 11:19:06 AM »
Looks like the wee man is throwing a major strop over how Turkey is being treated by the EU.

Angrily lashing out at the bloc’s treatment of Ankara, Erdoğan said Turkey could hold a referendum along the lines of that in Britain, where voters are deciding on June 23 whether to stay in the European Union or leave.

“We can stand up and ask the people just like the British are doing,” Erdoğan said in a speech late June 22 at a fast-breaking dinner, quoted by the state-run Anadolu Agency.

“We would ask, ‘Should we continue the negotiations with the European Union or should we end them?’ If the people say ‘continue,’ then we would carry on,” Erdoğan said.

He accused the EU of not wanting to accept Turkey as a member as it is a “Muslim-majority country.”

Erdoğan said Turkey had been promised membership in 1963 but that nothing had happened despite the passage of 53 years. “Why are you stalling?” he asked.


Well mate, if you'd bothered to complete the Accession Chapters, a process that began years ago, then maybe you'd be further ahead in the process - so you have to ask, who is stalling?

   And you have to ask which direction is the leadership taking the country in.??   Towards a European democracy or an Islamic caliphate.

   Yet another new set of enemies to blame.

Nigel Farage v Tayyip Erdogan. Can you spot the difference between these two demagogues? Oh yes, one has a moustache.

  I know which one I would prefer as a politician in my country, and the one without the mustache made it possible for us

  to decide our future direction.!!!  Without UKIP and Farage we wouldn't have been given a Referendum.       ;)
