Whilst I'm sure before the vote there will be some threat levelled at benefit claimants why should they escape, I don't believe sanctions will be targeted at those who vote leave and as Hugh said how would they know. I think your being generous Damien in relation to Osbourne I don't think he thought of this as a tactic to get discussion back onto the economy it was a threat pure and simple and the worst type a conservative Chancellor should attempt. If there is a momentum towards leave remains negative campaigning is a big reason for it.

We are going to be in such a mess politically after this referendum that only a general election has a chance of sorting it to any degree. Given the options though sort of damned if you do and damned if you don't and between british mp's looking for ways to overturn the referendum if it's to leave and the eurocrats looking for ways on their end to overturn it we need strong politicians to do any negotiating and where they are coming from I don't know.
