re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
It's not as if the Out campaign won't also be disingenuous in their approach. I am also not sure that the 'threats' will result in a boost to the Out campaign. As I said before the fear factor is the best tool the In campaign have and unless Out can alleviate those fears with a coherent idea of what Britain will look like outside the EU then they may well be an effective weapons.
The fear of leaving the UK helped the Better Together campaign in Scotland. The fear of the Labour-SNP alliance helped the Tories win a majority. Fear sells. The Out campaign will be talking of migrants and the Eurozone. Welcome to politics.
