    I said something similar in the Scottish referendum. The intensity of great hopes are only matched in disappointment. There's no consoling.

        Scottish independence and European dependence. I think that's known in the industry as cognitive dissonance.

              An external event could swing the vote. We just had an Obama external event, a terrorist attack or an EU cock up might swing voters.

                If you mean the town near Taunton, your spellchecker doesn't work. If you mean something else, I can't really be arsed to work out what it could possibly be.

                    So, although annoyance at Obama might not on its own be enough to sway a remainer to switch side, or even some people sitting on the fence, it seems most likely it hasn't on balance helped the remainers' cause.

                    (*) In a hurry, so can't provide a reference and you'll just have to take my word for it!
