Turkish Cprus: 49% (most frequent choice) Turkey: 41% (most frequent choice) Romania 28% (2nd most frequent choice) Malta 26% (4th most frequent choice) Cyprus 25% (3rd most frequent choice) Slovakia 25% (3rd most frequent choice) Croatia 21% (3rd most frequent choice)
So, interestingly, religion matters most just in the candidate country that might be resented for that, and is high in some new members least sceptical of Turkey's accession. (BTW the question is not nuanced enough to know whether Turkish citizens thinking so are Eurosceptics or those who would join and think religion is why they get rejection.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
*52% of Slovenes consider themselves well-informed about the EU -- a startling and outstanding result (Luxemburg's second place with 50% doesn't surprise me).
* The UK is co-last along with Romania in correct answers for three questions about the EU (40%), but Europhile Italy's 43% is not much better... Startingly, Greece leads all the way (74%). The question with least correct answers is a whopper: that on direct election of members of the most popular and known EU institution, the EP (45%, -4% compared to last time). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
