Boris Johnson's decision to campaign for an exit could have a significant impact on the outcome.
He will be a de facto leader of the Leave campaign and is a persuasive speaker.
I'd say Cameron's chances of winning a Stay vote, already behind in the polls, just got harder.

And maybe his leadership just got a bit rocky as well.

Guardian:

A new poll has suggested more Britons favour leaving the EU over staying in, with 45% supporting “Brexit” compared with 36% against, while a fifth remain undecided.

The YouGov poll for the Times was carried out in the two days after publication of an outline deal that David Cameron negotiated which could change the UK’s relationship with Brussels while keeping it within the European Union.

The poll suggested the number of voters wanting to quit had risen by three points on the previous week, the Times said.

Two polls in December indicated a closer race between the in and out camps, but there is an air of caution around published opinion polls in British politics after their failure to predict the 2015 general election result.

I hope & pray England's coming to the same space a lot of people in America are coming to, ie to turn the ship around from the socialist/collectivist/politically correct direction they're sailing in.

Boris Johnson:

‘We have given so much to the world, in ideas and culture, but the most valuable British export and the one for which we are most famous is the one that is now increasingly in question: parliamentary democracy – the way the people express their power.

‘This is a once in a lifetime chance to vote for real change in Britain’s relations with Europe. This is the only opportunity we will ever have to show that we care about self-rule.


“A vote to Remain will be taken in Brussels as a green light for more federalism, and for the erosion of democracy ”

Later, in his newspaper article, Mr Johnson wrote that the EU ‘has morphed and grown in such a way as to be unrecognisable’.

He said the public were ‘enraged’ by inability of British politicians to control immigration. This alienation from politics was contributing to ‘the rise of extremist parties’.

The mayor said: ‘There is only one way to get the change we need – and that is to vote to go; because all EU history shows that they only really listen to a population when it says No.’

He rejected claims it would be impossible to negotiate decent trade deals if the people vote for Leave, pointing out that ‘we used to run the biggest empire the world has ever seen’.

‘We have become so used to Nanny in Brussels that we have become infantilised, incapable of imagining an independent future,’ he wrote.

In a further blow to the Prime Minister, it emerged that a quarter of Tory MEPs will also defy him by campaigning for Brexit.

I hope the party make him PM now.

Bravo Boris!

Raid the petty cash tin and buy pounds. If they exit, sell long...

Oh yes. Just as there is a concerted effort in the US to trash and vandalise Trump as a serious contender for the White House - so too do the ruling elite and the pink press in the UK conspire to assassinate the reputation of those they consider not to be on the side of political correctness and the Great God 'Multiculturalism'.

International financiers like George Soros and money lenders like The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund use their loans as leverage to blackmail countries into promising to agree with implementing certain Leftwing social agendas as a precondition for receiving these loans.
