Don't you think the requirements will be well watered down in the coming weeks and months.
Why would they?
Although I'll be voting to remain, I'm sort of half hoping that we end up leaving!
I really enjoy watching and reading about all the political drama, and seeing the heated discussion in here. A remain result will pretty much put a stop to it all. A leave result will have the politics of the UK in turmoil for at least 5 years. It will be fun to watch.

Because Turkey has said they will send all the immigrant's back to Germany if things are not sorted fast.
Politics, particularly European politics.
Those 35 requirements were not fully implemented when a lot of eastern European states joined the EU, and Euro entry rules were relaxed so Greece could join with predictable results.

greece didn't meet the requirements either.
Why, what resources do they have that are of use?

Vote leave, you know you want to.What I should have said is Merkel is desperate for them to join although she got elected promising it wouldn't happen.
Interesting series of lectures about the history of the EU and build up of events that led to us joining:

One thing that strikes me is that from the very beginning we have failed to negotiate effectively with the rest of the block (you could say down to our failure to join from the beginning) so why would that change in the future?
However I wouldn't be so confident of tariff free trade if we vote leave. In the past they were happy to block us out to ensure the success of the union and keep out cheaper goods from the commonwealth, I don't see that view changing today.

i assume your second sentence was meant to be "can't"; Theresienstadt?
The whole geopolitical trade thing is just world-scale mafia protection rackets
Stay and trade with us, or else. Either way, we are bound by their terms.
To keep the migrants there obviously.

Why does no one want Turkey to join the EU and why do so many hate Turkey so much?
Didn't the original Pax Europa idea include Constanstinople ?... I mean the ideology would finally be near-complete if turkey joined.
But saying that, it would much more difficult to actually achieve if they forced it, as Norway and Switzerland would be very much against joining.
I actually meant Pax Romana, but it's basically the same.
