For God's sake, let's settle it!
There's
this weird theory going round that the best outcome of the referendum
on Thursday would be a narrow win for the Remain side. The argument is
that this would give the Government ammunition to go back to Brussels
and say "Look, we damn nearly voted to leave - there will be pressure
for another vote, you need to give in to more of out demands if this is
to be avoided". I see the logic but I hope that doesn't happen. In my
book, the best result would be a clear win for either side. On balance,
I'm still favouring Remain, but I would rather have a clear Leave
victory than a close run thing. What I want above all is for the matter
to be decided once and for all - the worst possible outcome would be
for things to continue as they have for so many years now, with the
"Europe issue" as a sort of poisonous scab that we keep picking at, and I'm afraid that a narrow win for either side would probably have just that result.
