Nick Palmer: An EU referendum REMAIN victory is a 75% chance

Nick Palmer: An EU referendum REMAIN victory is a 75% chance

The factions that’ll make up the EU referendum battle In my last article, I argued that voters weren’t yet paying attention to the EU debate, but that I thought IN would win in the end. This article explains why. One of the charms of The Game of Thrones is the sheer variety of interacting factions, feuding, allying, and eyeing each other in guarded and temporary neutrality.

Poll by @Survation More people trust Cam than distrust him on the EU, opposite true for Farage http://t.co/UchpFVSgFI pic.twitter.com/y9PlT0y9cQ — TSE (@TSEofPB) June 5, 2015 Nigel Farage might be a hindrance to the OUT side Looking at the above findings from Survation on behalf of British Future, if the EU referendum is a head to head between David Cameron and Nigel Farage, it is advantage to Cameron and the In side (assuming Cameron campaigns for the UK to remain in…
