Although here I should state that brits ARE crazy.
Two factors: first cousins of the europeans, no euro
The real percentage is indeterminable now. It can be go or stay.
But by having polls indicating it is in the edge of the knife all the middle class ****s will vote stay
I was right about the scotland referendum I will be right about this.
If I'm not, it will be my joy to be wrong

Thesis:
It is to the advantage of the "Powers That Be" for the UK to remain within the EC. Therefore, they will manipulate polling results to achieve that end. Regular middle class people fear and exit and higher turnout from that class will help the UK to remain within the EC.
Case 1: True Poll results show the referendum will fail (UK will remain)
To what advantage would it be to change the poll results to show that the vote could go either way? You don't need higher turnout from the regular middle class because the vote will fail anyway. Saying the vote is up in the air will give encouragement to those who want to leave.
This makes no sense.
Case 2: True Poll results show the vote could go either way
This is not an alteration, therefore there is no manipulation.
Case 3: True Poll results show the vote will win (UK will leave)
Why would one distort the results to show leaving is less likely? This would result in less fear and therefore less turnout of the regular middle class.
Again, this makes no sense.
In any case, why would higher turn out be bad for democracy? Poll results showing strong results for either side would reduce all turnout (those without strong opinions will think that their vote will not make a difference and only the more engaged will vote). Poll results showing the vote could go either way will increase all turnout (those leaning to either side will see greater importance in their vote and vote). Higher turnout will reveal the true will of the people, either way.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

First one has to agree that the result being on the edge of the knife is fascinating in itself.
Questioning the european project was unthinkable in the not so distant past.
It took some semi crazy left wing greeks to challenge that and the seed was sawn. I still believe necessity moves things but there can be decoration.
Coming to the polls.
The real stance of the people is a minor plus for the go vote.
Let's say you see some overwhleming enemy coming your way. There is no way you can defeat him. You let your shoulders fall down.
However, if the notion of resistance is given to you, you'll fight.

Originally posted by Brendan CoxToday is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo.
Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.
She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.
Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.
