Countries like England Germany Italy Spain have an undercurrent of people who would vote leave, probably 30-35% and mostly motivated by xenophobia and racism.
What has happened is Gove and Johnson have sold people in the middle a lie, a pipe dream. That we can load up the removal truck and leave the crumbling EU. Unleash the shackles on the UK in business and decide better who comes in and out and the rate of immigration if we vote Leave.
They did too good a job selling it to frustrated people and the expected 60-40 or at worst 55-45 remain never happened. Without the fairytale story forefront in the media I'm sure it would more like 65-70% remain.
People like Boris and Gove don't want to go through with it, they want to make more deals. A good get out would be come clean and say Scotland is vetoing and we've looked at it and the breakup of the UK, its not worth the trouble. Put the proper facts out there of how intertwined UK and London is to the EU, show people our high influx of recent immigration is down to UK government, have a revote to show Europe we're actually pro EU and get back to business.
What is stunning is how the lies and nightmare was allowed to be played out, as if somehow people at the top want to poke and prod the EU or fancy their chances. How a simple 2% majority can be called crystal clear that Britain has decide to leave.
Gullible and vulnerable people with real issues have been hoodwinked.
