Turkish Dislike

Even the Turks are slowly turning against the EU.

A poll, taken for the ruling Justice and Development party (AKP), found that 63 per cent of Turks support the country's accession to the EU, compared with 70 per cent earlier in the year and as much as 75 per cent late last year.

That’s still a big majority in favour, but a very swift decline. Unfortunately it is driven by nationalist sentiment, rather than any critique of the way in which the EU works.
