People are voting to stay in Europe. They want slow death. They are dead scared that exit will speed up death of UK.
There is a big scare campaign against leaving the EU. But Britain was perfectly alright before its EU membership, and will be better off if they can get free.
“Stay” appears to be the way it’s leaning. I think they fear they will go into a recession should they not. It’s possible, it’s hard to say from here. But they are ratifying the control of Brussels over them and I find that entire setup galling.
