Russia aren't as powerful as the were though, although they do still have their space programme, I guess. Which is more than the UK - we've never had a space programme - unless you count Beagle 2....
Just think though - the EU would stretch right from Ireland all the way to the international date line then!
But yes, thinking about it the next countries to join the EU would be countries like Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania. From what I can gather Russia has a lot of problems with corruption and organised crime at the moment.

If Russian government was slightly better and wiser, and if it was not full of former KGB agents, it could make Russia a better place. But now we should not think of EU membership.

You're right, I've not been there, which is why I put 'from what I can gather' before my statement, which means I'm not 100% certain - I guess @payalnik would be able to comment more accurately than me.
And I certainly wouldn't suggest the UK government is squeaky clean, probably far from it in fact! There a lot of things wrong over here, some of which I pointed out in an earlier reply.
I tell you what, @boto43, this thread's warming up nicely now isn't it!
Some good debates and comments, I hope this is what you wanted from this thread - let me know btw if I go off topic or stray a bit too much!

What you guys think about the membership of Turkey? I've been there 2 times, and I think they are as much Europeans as I am! (And I think that I'm a fully European citizen
)!
