Re: EU Referendum Poll
And yet Gibraltar is being taken out of the EU, when it's not even part of the UK - it's a British overseas territory. Something highly undemocratic about that. Could Gibraltar apply for EU membership in its own right? I suppose it would have to declare independence from Britain first and risk being annexed by Spain. Sort of puts Scotland's problems into perspective...Tube Geek wrote:Tube forum was ob Gibraltar's side - 96% remain!

Approval of the other 27 states is presumably the sticking-point, since Spain will never accept it.
Here are the membership criteria from the EU's website:tubeguru wrote: It would have to meet all the conditions (unlikely), and then get approval of the remaining 27 states. Not happening, same as Turkey.
- stable institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities;
- a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competition and market forces in the EU;
- the ability to take on and implement effectively the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union.

Apart from Luxembourg, are any of those actually in the EU? I don't think so.A Challenge wrote:San Marino, Vatican City, Luxembourg, Litchenstien and Andorra.

Re: EU Referendum Poll
Gibraltar isn't part of the UK. It's a British overseas territory with its own parliament and government. None of the other British overseas territories are part of the EU.

Well, on Tuesday I'm heading up to see my folks in Scotland. Will an Englishman be welcome, I wonder? Perhaps the outcome of this vote affects some of us immediately...
