Closed Turkey to join the EU

Closed on

Turkish accession into the EU has far more advantages than disadvantages particularly for Britain, including geostrategic, economic and political factors. The addition of such an economically-booming country with such high-profile borders would help all aspects of the EU as well as consolidating our interests in the east. We should tackle extremism by embracing Turkey's positive example and not by excluding them from out 'Christian-only club'.
