The entire campaign to remain in is based on fear of economic risk

Osborne is presenting as fact estimates and reports based on ridiculous assumptions and deliberately aimed at scaring people when they are no such thing.

The only positive argument for staying in with any substance as far as I can see is that being part of a collaboration with our EU neighbours makes war less likely (in Europe at least).

All of the principled arguments regarding democracy, sovereignty etc (full house for Brexit bingo) favour leaving.

We will probably end up staying though due to the fact people have been successfully convinced it's " too risky" to leave a club none of us voted to join. That and a lot of other people who will bite off their nose to spite their face because we currently happen to have a Tory government.
