Iceland is a part of Europe. If they're foolish enough to join I guess there would be a good chance of an extra vote for sanity in the EU leadership. We could use that. However, since Greenland is the only country to actually leave the EU I doubt that Iceland, a soverign state with a much better economy, would have any interest in joining. EU opinion is very fluid in most countries, largely because most don't care much about it.

Yes yes Iceland all other factors considered doesn't = Turkey...but to pretend the whole process is about economics and human rights is well...humorous

Yeah. France and Austria are really vetoing Turkey for racist reasons.

Err...Are you agreeing with me, or countering me with mild sarcasm...really hard to tell textually.

Haha, yeah I can see that now. Former. Jas has a point of course, but even if Turkey put an end to human rights violation they would not be allowed in.
