Horror as Turkish is made an 'official EU language' before ANY voters support membership

Unless history is re-written by the victors, this will be known as the time the West did away with elections.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m sure the rules were followed.
I bet the Turks have a great ground game.
Their opponents just don’t know how to wwin.

[OldNewYork]

Anybody really not understand why Britain wants out?

[Leaning Right]

Wouldn’t it be easier to just rename Western Europe as Greater Turkey?

As for Eastern Europe, they seem to have some grounding in reality. Good luck to them.

[rwoodward]

Sounds like a Ted Cruz “Big-D” Democracy maneuver! The rules is the rules....

[Olog-hai]

Did you happen to notice that this thread is not about the US GOP primaries?

With all due respect, if I wanted to hear about that, I’d participate in those threads.

[DoughtyOne]

Almost like a Cruz caucus win.

>>> I’m sure the rules were followed.

How apropos and insightful. Sometimes, it takes a view from the outside to clarify the turmoil on the inside.

[ptsal]

Goats everywhere are alarmed....

[Olog-hai]

You know this thread isn’t about the US, right?

[DoughtyOne]

Similarity is similarity...

I did realize it was about the E.U.

Note the part about there being no vote on the issue.

[Olog-hai]

There are no rules in the EU. They get made up as they go. When you have an executive that both writes and passes laws, you have an oligarchy.

[Olog-hai]

No similarity that I can see. Only to the USSR, if anything.

If I wanted to discuss the primaries, I’d go to those threads.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, I’m sorry you can’t grasp the issue I’m addressing.

I’ll address all issues any place I like.

[Olog-hai]

I didn’t say you couldn’t. I’m just saying I’m not interested.

[DoughtyOne]

Well you couldn’t prove that by me.

You’ve responded on the topic two or three times now.

You just don’t want me to point out the obvious.

[bgill]

Hey, if America doesn’t need its voters, why should the UN?

[bgill]

Blah, make that EU not UN... though it’s pretty much all the same players.

[Lurker]

“There are no rules in the EU. They get made up as they go.”

So it’s a lot like certain state Republican Party organizations then.
