Yup. I think most of the arguments will be the same from both the Stay/Leave campaigns.
Leave will point out the 'democratic deficit', the prosperous future and the flaws in the existing arrangement. Stay will point to instability, fear factor and wheel out big business.
Even the place the two camps come from are similar. A battle between a leave campaign which spent so long attempting to get this vote but aren't quite sure what to do when it comes and a Stay campaign that has been lazy and never wanted to do this in the first place.
