Yeah, probably. But you have a safer bet if you choose the nationalists or the anti-EU.


I would have thought the Anti EU parties would want the Turk in; it would solve the issue in their favor much more quickly.  That's very short sighted on their part.
These guys are funny. Last time they tried to organize something together (Italian fascists, Belgian nationalists, Hungarian neo-nazis and British goons), they couldn't agree on where to hold their first convention, because each nation thought it should be in their country. :D

Only in the EU would there be an international alliance of nationalist parties.

Parliament has little to say on EU enlargement policy which AFAIK is a Commission and Council responsibility.

What exactly does parliament have a say on anyway?

That's a good, although difficult question.

The EU "decision-making" is rather complex, but the powers of the parliament have been constantly extended in the last decades. The new Lisbon treaty (if approved) will bring more changes on those.

Nowadays, they have to accept when a new European Commission takes power and they can dismiss them with a 2/3 majority, for example.

Let me point you the EU basic page on that issue, since they can explain it better than me: http://languish.org/forums/index.php?action=post;topic=818.15;num_replies=19

Or you could wait for some other posters to add some information. :)

Americans should be able to vote in your elections.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I don't bother anymore with national or local elections; much less with EU ones.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Hey FB, I had an Asian friend who was just out visiting some people in Arkansas.  She said that she'd never been so happy to be back in the bay area.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

The only European Royalist Party is the Bonapartist.  :frog:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Only places I recall were Fayetteville and Hot Springs.
