The Nando Times: Turkey's nationalists challenge EU reforms

The Nationalists are actually the largest party in parliament, though short of majority status. And they aren't happy about the abolition of the death penalty or (in particular, I expect) the increase in Kurdish-language rights. Both came in as part of a package to try to get into the EU, but personally I don't think Turkey will get in anyway. If they did, and the Nationalists took over and set the clock back, would the EU kick Turkey out?
