I’m hoping for a leave vote (as a joint Australian/British citizen not eligible to vote in the UK) but I agree it isn’t looking that likely. The murder of Jo Cox - which is a terrible thing - has probably swung the vote back to Remain.
But I don’t see this as the UK’s last chance - the Republicans in Australia didn’t shut up because of our 1999 Referendum (nor should they have if they believe in what they are standing for) and will push for another Referendum soon. The same will happen in the UK if it needs to.
If the EU had stayed as it was - a Common Market - if the EU would stay as it is now, it might have a hope. But the left will keep pushing it closer and closer to a super state and that will ultimately destroy it.

Good and well written historical summary.
The backers of this project were never honest.
As a Norwegian I only started to catch on sometime after the treaty of Maastricht.
I appreciate what you say but feel there is a world of difference between the two situations.
We won’t have another referendum for years - by then we will have been so diluted, and EU will have expanded in every way - it will be over for us, or at best generations of people will be confined to suffering.
