“Could”. But do you think the quality of debate in the last two years, from our politicians and others has been of the quality to engage and enthuse.

And these demographics. Yes 700,000 thousand leavers next to deaths door have now slipped the mortal coil to be replaced by Remain teenagers.........it’s very convenient and I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.

Indeed, and they would revert to project fear. But I can already see the campaigns.

What was it now planes won’t fly the day after no deal Brexit?...... as predicted yes they will.

The EU, as expected, will not do anything that damages their own interests.

It requires a minor shift in demographics or public opinion to give a 48-52 result in the other direction. Which I’d also call wafer thin.
Most likely as least 1.3 million
