Rival Brexit Camps Battle on the Eve of Referendum
Local Editor
Rival sides threw their efforts into the final day of campaigning Wednesday, on the eve of Britain's vote on EU membership that will shape the future of Europe.
British PM David Cameron conducted a spate of last-minute interviews to get his pro-EU message to voters before polls open at 6 am Thursday.
"Nobody knows what is going to happen," he told the Financial Times. "I believe it will one way or another be decisive. Britain will not want to go through this again."
Meanwhile, the "Remain" camp has the slimmest possible lead on 51 percent versus 49 percent support for the "Leave" side, according to an average of polls compiled by What UK Thinks.
In a final push to win over the undecided voters who could tip the referendum, campaigners will speak at rival "Leave" and "Remain" rallies taking place within hours of each other in London.
In further details, representatives from both sides are scheduled to then meet in a final television debate on Channel 4 featuring anti-EU UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage and former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond for "Remain."
Relatively, the prospect of Britain becoming the first state to defect from the EU in the bloc's 60-year history raised fears of a domino-effect collapse of the European project.
