Quite a few undecideds I have spoken to are probably going to vote "Out" for one reason - immigration; by that, I mean controlled immigration, like countries such as Canada, NZ, Oz, etc. At the moment, it would appear the UK must accept anyone from the EU, and most people I know don't think that's acceptable. They find comments by Brexiteers like Gove who says five million Turks are coming to be fairly laughable (much like the 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians Nigel Farage said were coming here), but they see a slow drip, drip, drip gradually wearing down our services.
They're not being racist - they don't want unskilled people from any country, including our old colonies, coming here.
*FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt

NOBODY said 29 million WOULD come here. It said that 29m would be ALLOWED to, and that is correct, whichever way you look at it.
