Rich, I think that's a bit of a (typically) narrow view of it all, there are MP's across ALL parties who are split on this, it just seems to be the one's in focus are Gove & Johnson, both of whom are surely stating that they will never lead the Tories should the remain campo win ... Which I think they will. It all seems (To innocent, Harehills born, thicky me) very similar to the Scottish Independent vote. All bluster and scare tactics (From both sides) But ultimately 'the safe bet' will win.
The vociferousness of the exit camp should anyone DARE suggest their own opinion (Obama, The IMF, Just about every world leader, Mark Carney, The TUC, 450 out of 650 MP's etc. ALL of who suggest we'd be better off remaining) smacks to me of Empirical behaviour, still thinking we own half the World ... which we don't! and sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting LA LA LA if anyone dare to put forward a sensible argument against you. FWIW, I'm also in, mainly because I think we need to look to the future and not the past. The World is shaping up to be made up of 5 super powers; America, Russia, China, The Middle Eastern Oil countries and Europe, if we're not at one of those 'top tables' we'll be an insignificant voice in the distance shouting "Listen to us, we used to be important". Also, in OR out will not stop immigration! So I cannot understand people thinking voting out will change that one iota. When the undecided 10% close the curtain and put their X down, they will (It's a very British instinct) err on the side of caution and stay with what they have. Just like they did in Scotland. 55-60% to 40-45% In on June 23rd I reckon!
