Foreign aid is also largely our own policy.
Immigration is the main one and is Leave's best asset. Not the economy.
I don't think Leave have a turnout problem. I really think the economy is their biggest weakness but if they do have the economy, immigration and the rest in their favour they we're right, it's a landslide victory they'll win.

That is the point i'm making ,most ordinary people will base their voting intentions on what they hear on the news or read in the Sun/Mirror etc ,or see in their local area not what various trade organisations,treasury statistics or Obama says .For most people the EU is perceived to be a money grabbing ,freedom sucking bloated organisation and that is what they will base their decision on regardless of what the facts are
