I'm in general in favour of Turkey joining the EU ( ... )

Also, if we say "hey Turkey, it's cool, you can join despite having not much in the way of rule of law or internal democracy", that just emboldens Hungary.

Oh, and gives Marine Le Pen a few boatloads of additional votes.

Yes, that also.

I agree. I think that the potential for them to join should be there, but it should be based on their actual suitability to do so, and not on momentary gain.

I'd go a bit further than that. We (the EU) should be actively seeking Turkish membership and working with them to get them ready for a successful membership.
