Nope, because there's always someone who don't know/are unsure. In this poll the majority of those who had an opinion would vote for it, and Belarus is becoming increasingly pro-EU.

Actually according to a poll conducted in 2009 44.1% of the Belarussian people would vote YES in a vote to join the European Union.

That would be impossible the way the world is today. Russia is modernizing and strengthening their military so if we abolished ours they would walk right in and take over all of Europe. I would prefer a smaller army that could be mobilized faster.

Yes, I totally agree with you. I think a united European federation with a minimal federal government and strong states that would deal with everything but national defence and foreign issues could get enough support amongst people to become a reality.

Yes, but not nearly as many as todays numbers espesially with the bad economic times in Europe and the high unemployment rates. Europe should try and become as udependent on immigration as possible and instead take in fewer and better immigrants than we do today.

We are doing pretty fine now which can to a huge degree be credited to our oil export which has made us a very rich country and thus giving us a lot of money to invest in infrastructure, education, research to create economic growth and ensure everyone a high standard of living. The EU is our...

no, for the same reason I'm against Turkey joining: they aren't european. Yes to trade and cooperation, no to membership.

No, I don't think they should join for geographical reasons. Only 3% of Turkey is in Europe, the rest is in the middle east. It would be much harder to controll EU's external borders with Turkey as a member since the EU would then have to controll 3-4 different borders against middle eastern...
