This for me is another problem with the EU they are extremely selective on what they admit and what they tell any of us about future plans and pardon me for being cynical but that veto isn't worth the paper it's written on and once the issue of member states leaving the EU goes away so will that veto.
By what mechanism will get rid of the veto and, if it wasn't worth the paper it was written on, then why have we been able to use it before? Cameron has said he would like Turkey to join the EU as has Boris Johnson and other members of the Leave campaign before they decided it against it now. Either way the power would still be in Britain's hands to reject it if the Government actually wanted to do so and Turkey are still a long way away from even being able to apply.

Anyway it's fair enough for Leave to use if they wish. Remain would do so it if helped them.
