There really is not a lot of certainties with a leave vote, despite what both sides claim

For me though it is telling that you have, saying remain,
The leader of the Conservatives
The leader of Labour
The leader of Libdems
The leader of SNP
The leader of Plaid
The leader of Sinn Fein
The leader of The Greens

Very rarely, if ever, do these have a consenual view on things. That they do on this issue tells me something.
