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.

Turkey applied in 1987 back in the old EEC days .Accession talks finally started in 2005 and given the immigration crisis i believe their membership will be escalated

Turkey has also met 65 of the 72 requirements for visa free travel throughout the EU .In March of this year they had only met 35 ,by May they had increased the requirement to 65 so very shortly we will be seeing thousands of Turkish immigrants entering the UK ,this talk of years is quite frankly baloney
