Metrication posted:i wonder what happens if the result of the referendum is a very close vote for leave, eg 51 v 49. will cameron attempt to engineer remaining (we will go back to the negotiating table for a better deal)? it would certainly be the end of him but it's not a clear mandate to go. and similarly if it was the reverse then you can probably guarantee another referendum in the near future (and the total implosion of the tories) I think a leave result will prompt spin that the British Public have said no to 'the current arrangements', a round of hasty re-negotiations with the EU, and a second referendum within six months. I think a close stay result will leave Brexit Tories feeling vindicated in continuing to whine about the EU, but no imminent second referendum on the horizon.

It's funny to think that only 10 years ago both the Prime Minister and leader of the opposition's constituencies were within 20 minute's drive of where I live. Now it's just a couple of blokes from down south. Disengaging.

So the idea is that not many people are interested in finding out more about Corbyn's latest speech, and the few that are are confused about what he thinks and don't use Google properly.

If you're pinning your hopes of Corbyn's success on the subset of a few thousand facebook followers that happen to be undecided voters then Labour is more hosed than I imagined.
