Oh I see, uncertainty only matters on the leave side then eh? Turkey is currently being officially helped towards joining, how uncertain is that? Given the refugee crisis, you can bet the EU will find reasons to accelerate that help but of course they're not going to advertise that just yet because they want us to stay in don't they.

One the subject of 'likely', how likely is it that Cameron's pledge to cut net migration to the tens of thousands was utter BS intended to buy votes in the last election?

Cameron could have done something to end the uncertainty about Turkey by saying he'd veto any such move but even though his days are numbered and he has a tendency to tell porkies, he wouldn't even do that for fear of upsetting the EU agenda to see Turkey admitted.
