    I agree with your first sentence OchPie. I think it would have been difficult for Remain to make a positive case for staying in the EU, as how would things all of a sudden become better by staying put. They had to campaign on the supposed negatives of leaving, which should have made it a shoe in for Remain, luckily the majority saw through project fear. I also think a major factor for people voting Leave was the leaflet Cameron sent out to every household at massive cost, with a very biased Remain feel to it. It certainly helped me, make my mind up.

    It's blatantly obvious that things wouldn't suddenly become better by remaining.

    It's also blatantly obvious things became worse after leaving.

    And now more and more are seeing through the lies of many in the leave campaign.

    If the vote took place in 2016, but with the benefit of seeing how it would turn out, would remain have won?

    Ahhhhhhh I'll never forget that, the leaflet that shouldn't have been paid for legally by tax payers money!! Big lettering, smiley faces on the Remain page. Red for DANGER and loads of text for the Leave side The government tried everything to get people to vote remain yet people still voted leave.
