1. He might have turned the tide against exit singlehandedly

As the vote nears, I've been wondering more and more about the whole thing, so I watched the propaganda over on You Tube and asked for a little education on another site.

The EU's unpopularity stems mostly from their high taxes, which are not being returned to Britain, their heavy handedness in Greece, the fact that they're a privileged old boy's club over in Brussels, and that there's no accountability to the British people.

The EU's popularity comes from the fact that they've managed to lower a lot of prices and that they've managed to shore up some very important labor rights that have been under attack since Thatcher first got in. They also see the EU as their best hope of preventing another Europe wide war--and they look at that prospect with horror because wars are fought on their soil.

It hasn't helped the exit people that their videos are soaked in neoliberalism. Now with this lunatic, maybe the tide will turn.
