Article by an analyst in an Australian paper
"If Britain votes on June 23 to leave the EU, it will be a decisive act of Western self-assertion and self-confidence. That is why, geo-strategically, a vote for Brexit would be so beneficial.
...
The way British Prime Minister David Cameron has run this debate is a textbook case of disgraceful fearmongering by a democratic leader. He has no case to make for staying in Europe beyond the wildest fear campaign in modern British history
...
Cameron has recruited a vast cast of international panjandrums and potentates — a gaggle of Euro blatherskites and even, God help us, Barack Obama — to browbeat the British people about the perfidy and dire consequences of a vote to leave.
Never in modern democratic history has an attempt to intimidate voters been so naked.
And yet this last week the leave campaign has roared back in the polls
...
If the British vote to leave, they will have defied bipartisan opposition. Not only Cameron, but Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as well as the Scottish Nationalist Party, the third largest party in Westminster, and the Greens are all campaigning for remain.
