I think everyone thinks that their doom scenario is more likely than their opponents doom scenario. The question is if it's fair to invoke scaremongering or not.
I think it's fine. You play the game you've been given and dire warnings do work. We saw that in the general election and the Scottish referendum. It may not be debate we want to see but high minded debate is less effective.
What I do dislike though is one side accusing the other of fear mongering and doing the same themselves. There is plenty of scaremongering from both sides. Doesn't mean that it's all false either.
