RE Turkey Joining the EU

The UK has a veto vote which means that Turkey can't join the EU unless the UK votes for them to do so.

Even if the UK voted for Turkey to join the EU, all the other EU countries also have to vote to allow Turkey to join.

It only takes one EU member to vote against Turkey joining the EU and it can't happen.
