New EU politican slogan: Keep the Turks at bay, start a baby today! More seriously, I can see a number of opposition parties using facts like this in an effort to frighten voters in the referenda. Wasn't the fact that there were more women than men used as an argument against giving women the vote? However, how, in practice, would any voting result change if Turkey became bigger than Germany? Would it require an issue with Germany and Turkey on opposite sides and all other votes exactly split? If Turkey’s growing population is seen as a problem, the solution is easy.
