Again, off-topic but Poland has been arguing with the EU; that’s been a big issue recently.

“Poland will start obstructing European Union business and “play a rough game” in Brussels after the bloc angered Warsaw by reappointing Donald Tusk as head of the European Council, the foreign minister said.

Yes, the Dutch are much more right in this situation, Netherlands also has their abortion ships, has had euthanasia legislation and other liberal ideas, marijuana, same sex marriage. I’m not a big fan of these kinds of laws either.
But from all I can tell, Turkey is an oppressive dictatorship; pretty bad really. Read Turkish Minute, the website I posted earlier, they’ve jailed lots of folks, they oppress Christians and Kurds.
