There wasn't an EU in the seventies you dumb fuck. You're thinking of NATO.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Even ignoring that, the EU never actually wanted Turkey in their club. This was never anything more than a carrot on a stick.

Not even remotely. It was a trade union, not a non-democratic shadow government that lords over it's member nations.

The fact that they changed their name and expanded their powers doesn't mean it's not basically the same organisation

They did well more than just expanding their powers. Even the EU proper from 93 is a different beast from what it is today.

It's also more of a joke now, tbh.

And a good chunk of The Concert of Europe was better when it was called The Carolingian Empire.
