You also place a lot of trust in the EU which we TCs to date have absolutely no reason whatsoever to trust, do you think they will take any notice of us if we complain of power manipulation, they cant manage their own affairs let alone take heed of a few TCs who appose what the majority are doing which is not always right and can be to the detrement of the minority.
Then convince all the TCs to have just ONE political ideology and form just one political party and try to attract as many GCs as possible to join that one political party, assuming you ideology is based on Democracy and Human Rights, you should be able to have a political party with a substantial number of TCs, perhaps even more than 50%, if not more, then hope that you can win an election outright or have a very strong coalition partner, but don't expect the GCs to join you if you want to become the "Apartheid Party". You keep ignoring the formation of the Federal Constitution by the GCs and the TCs to secure every one's rights as well as Rotating Presidency. It works in other countries, but it is hard to see these possibilities when you are holding onto your Taksim Dreams.
The reasons as to why you do not trust the EU, is because the EU is not letting you and Turkey bend the rules on Democracy and Human Rights, nor do they want to become co-conspirators in the creation of the "trnc" by dealing with them. Just because some idiots within the EU may have made promises to the TCs and Turkey, does not mean that the EU body made those promises or even agreed with it. As a result, they are not interested in accommodating the "trnc", but have accepted the TCs as EU citizens. The EU is doing everything as it is structured to do, which is to live by her own Principles, which is what it is doing.
The EU is doing exactly as it suppose to do, which is to discourage partitioning of the island, specially now that the whole island is part of her territory. I can't say I can blame the EU for doing that, can you.? Well, at least not if you were living in the real world from the one you want to create, which no one is willing to help you. Even Turkey is slowly but surely is backing away from the "trnc", and for all good reasons too. It has to do with her own economic survivability, to be a friends with the EU or an enemy. My money is on that Turkey wants to remain as friend with the EU, with or without a EU membership.

Nothing in the world is going to benefit you (TCs) than the AP would have. But then again, the AP was not the real world, but a fantasy gone crazy on steroids. You can thank Turkey for that, for them asking the impossible, which made it easy for the GCs to say OXI to it. There NEVER EVER will be another AP as the one in 2004, because no such agreement can be accepted by the EU, now that the RoC is in the EU., even if the GCs said "YES" to it, which they will not. Unless you start living in the real world of Democracy and Human rights, no one is going to have any sympathy of the final outcome of the TCs, which is them becoming non existence with time.

I have always looked from a TC point of view, is the reason why I support BBF, but BBF only based on True Democracy, Human rights, International Law and EU Principles. It is these principles which is going to give the TCs the safeguards they need and at the same time, prevent those who still dream of Taksim from trying to partition the island. There has to be safeguards for all Cypriots and not just for the TCs, or else we will be back to square one with ethnic problems. You must not see my rejection of the Fascists NeoPartitionists as not seeing things through the TCs point of view. I only see from the point of views of the TCs who see themselves as Cypriots and who want to keep Cyprus as one for all Cypriots. I'm not interested in a partitioned Cyprus or for the TCs to be ruled by Turkey. If that was my desires, I would have moved to Turkey long time ago. I have not!
