EU Countries Quiz

No it was in June.

Bit loose with the facts there Cao. Around 27% of the overall population voted to leave, but that includes everyone down to babies. Of registered voters around 37% voted to leave (and turnout was 72% which is very high for a UK vote).

Also, where are the polls that show remain would win by a "significant margin" now (or at any point since the referendum)? I'd be interested as I haven't seen anything that gives remain more than a slim victory, and that was the case with most polls before the vote too. The country's opinion is still on a knife edge as far as I can tell. Wish that wasn't the case, but it appears to be.

Polling since the referendum (and before it) can be found here. Mostly it shows a small lead for remain (but so did the polling beforehand, which was wrong).

The fact that most of the votes went to parties that supported remain (if you count Labour as supporting remain, which is debatable) says more about the politicians who refused to accept that they could not win on the issue of Brexit than it does about the voters. The massive swings towards the Conservatives are evidence of this. Brexit isn't a good idea but it is better than ignoring the referendum. If we want to avoid such things in the future we should not have any more referendums, probably reduce the voting age and maybe write ourselves a constitution that clarifies what happens if parliament and the people disagree. But because of the mistakes of the left wing parties in the UK we are left with a government that is never going to do the last two of those things because they have a large enough majority that it is not in their interests.

So...

It is true at least for the next 11 months.

Finally another Lithuania truther on this platform.

Cyprus. The deadly argument on jetpunk

Which one? Because I'm pretty sure Tuvalu is in Europe.

yeah

I recommend you to check out the accession process. Cyprus wasn't a member when Turkey was reforming fast. Moreover, Cyprus couldn't legally be a member as it defied the "no disputed territory" rule. That's why they tried to resolve it & reunite the island with the Annan Plan which was accepted by Turkey & Turkish Cypriots and rejected by the Greek side. Now, if they hadn't liked the plan, they could have come up with another plan but EU chose the easy way out: let in Cyprus w/o meeting the requirements & keep Turkey out forever by using Cyprus as an excuse. Also countries like Bulgaria, Romania weren't any better than Turkey. Malta legalized divorce after it became a member. Criteria is just an excuse against Turkey. TR distanced itself after being alienated by EU.
