“My view is that those challenges will be easier to meet, those risks will be less if we vote to leave because we will have control over the economic levers”. Cameron has vociferously supported the “remain” group. She was stabbed and shot by an attacker and later succumbed to her wounds. “The underlying figures suggest the movement may be more to do with people worrying about the economic impact of leaving the European Union”, Anthony Wells, a YouGov spokesman, said.
Two other polls published on Saturday showed the “Remain” campaign had regained its lead over “Leave”, while another showed the two camps running neck and neck.
Before Cox’s murder, polls had shown a surge in the number of those who want a Brexit.
Some analysts believe both sides will use less inflammatory rhetoric in the final days because of the anguish caused by Cox’s death.
According to analysts, her death will have a “sobering” effect on the vote campaign.
The poster has been cited by politicians and commentators as a prime example of how jarring the tone of the referendum campaign has become. Since then, the “remain” campaign has been gaining momentum.
“It would be a one-off and permanent diminution in our standing in the world; an abject and self-imposed humiliation for a proud and important country like ours”, wrote Cameron, whose “Remain” campaign is facing its most effective opposition from members of his own Conservative party.
In an article for the “Sunday Telegraph”, Cameron described the referendum as an “existential choice” for Britain.
Writing in the pro-Brexit The Sunday Telegraph, Cameron wrote, “We face an existential choice on Thursday”.
Michael Gove, a senior spokesman for the rival “Leave” campaign, said leaving would actually improve Britain’s economic position.

“It would be a one-off and permanent diminution in our standing in the world; an abject and self-imposed humiliation for a proud and important country like ours”.
“The human head knows that, especially in the world we now inhabit, our deepest desires must somehow be moderated to suit the increasingly tough reality of a competitive world in which, though still a great nation, we no longer have the power or the wealth which once allowed us to live in splendid isolation”, it said. I say: “don’t risk it”, he added.
“If we leave the European Union, it will still be a very important forum for sorting out the biggest problems that affect Britain”.
It would remain for up to two years while it unpicks its relations with the continent.
Even if the British step back from the brink on Thursday, the bruising legacy of the debate, the growing trend of national referendums on European Union issues and the backlash against globalization and internationalized elites on both sides of the Atlantic will not fade away any time soon. Just don’t expect it to stop with one major country walking away from the EU.
