I'll have one more go..
100 = Core Sample of voters.
Split 49/49 between Leave and Remain.
The other 2 (2%) are undecided.
One of them (Karen) who's mum is ill in hospital passes a big red bus telling her that if she votes leave the NHS will get £350 million a week. She decides to vote leave.
The other (Tony) picks up the Daily Express in the dentists waiting room that says if he votes leave he will stop millions of Turkish immigrants coming to the UK. Tony decides to vote leave.
Hopefully this demonstrates that just 2% of voters decided the referendum outcome.
It may also show how a couple of well placed lies might also have an effect but I admit that part is not as scientific!
The usual jaundiced one sided view.
What about Jim who buys the Guardian or follows Polly Toynbee on Twitter, or Rachel who watches George Osborne and Michael Heseltine on the BBC spreading nothing but misinformation and exaggerations, all in the cause of Project Fear - "We'll be doomed, doomed, I tells ya"
Isn't it just possible that quite a percentage only voted Remain through fear as they perceived it as the devil they know?
Whatever you think of Bojo, he did not call the referendum. A confirmed remainer, who then campaigned for remain, did.
