The sheeple will probably vote to remain; much of the population is too stupid to see beyond a rosette on a politician let alone be confronted by a question like this, and the EU will take the permission Cameron has delivered them to put the UK in its place.

I think you overestimate how much people care about the EU either way. There is a small minority who love the EU, a bigger minority who detest the EU and a larger majority who are largely indifferent.
That last demographic will be the key to it and if they perceive any economic risk in leaving the EU they'll probably vote to stay. They'll look at their lives now and ask themselves if they're willing to gone down a unknown path or stick to the one we've got.
It might actually be a lot closer than the polls predict. Europe might be in the midst of a huge migration crisis by the time of the vote and they might swing to leave.
But if Leave does lose then they'll only have themselves to blame. They didn't just get the referendum they wanted they got it at a perfect time. A migration crisis, a poor deal from Cameron, an poor Labour Leader and the Eurozone mess already adding to a population that has never really taken to Europe in the first place. It even seems like a lot of the press is onside!
It may be though that Leave has spent too long talking to themselves for so long they don't understand the concerns of the majority who don't share their obsession with it.
