Remain was certainly NOT the status quo and thus was also a leap in the dark.

The BBC’s news coverage of the EU shows overwhelming bias against pro-Brexit opinions, a study has found.
The report, titled ‘Brussels Broadcasting Corporation?’, monitored thousands of hours of radio and TV shows dating back to 1999 including the flagship Radio 4 programme Today.
Of 4,275 guests on Today between 2005 and 2015 who talked about the EU, only 132 were Brexiteers.
Put another way, just 3.2% of Today interviewees were anti-EU, despite consistent public support for EU withdrawal throughout this time.
The report, published by think-tank Civitas in conjunction with the group News-watch, also found that Left-wing Brexiteers have been consistently excluded from BBC news programmes.
Using specialist media monitoring techniques, researchers analysed 274 hours of BBC coverage of EU issues broadcast between 2002 and 2017.
