What do you have to loose? That was the headline the next day in the Financial Times as the Remain campaign fought hard with the Leave campaign to get the remain vote. The race to get the leave vote became nasty, personal and nasty-and now that the leave vote is back on top, will the Leave camp lose their nerve and pull the country out of the rut? Not at all, say those who backed remain. Here are three reasons why:

No one has yet come up with a better explanation of what do you have to lose by voting Remain. The remain campaign trotted out a bunch of statistics about how poor the EU economic model is, while offering the promise of an escape from the European Union's ever-growing bureaucracy and high taxes. Some of these statistics are probably true, but no one explained how these would benefit the black population in Britain or how the UK would end up losing its economic freedom. No one promised that the EU's leaders would run rough shod over national governments and steal their money. There is nothing that the Remain campaign did that they haven't already done on their own, so why expect them to suddenly announce a policy that is better for black Americans than the rest of us?
It appears, however, that the Remain camp may have bitten off more than they can chew when it comes to the question of what do you have to lose by voting Remain. Firstly, did you know that Remain is standing in front of a wave of anti-EU parties, which could threaten to pull the UK out of the European Union altogether? In a recent survey carried out by a British pollster, there was a clear majority of the black British population who want a completely separate country from the EU - perhaps even from the United Kingdom? There is also a strong feeling among some black Americans that the EU is an increasingly aggressive organization that treats non- Europeans unfairly. Some Africans even fear that the EU is a tool of European Union leaders to colonize Africa and corner the resources of the African continent.
The Remain camp appears to be struggling to find an answer to the question of what do you have to lose by voting Remain. This is partly because of the fact that many of its traditional supporters - the Remainers - are deeply suspicious of Hillary Clinton's motives for running for the presidential seat. Clinton has come under fire from the Leave camp for supposedly colluding with the media and other Democrats to keep Leave out of the running for the UK's top position. Many black Americans are afraid that a President Hillary Clinton will fail to protect the black community and push for reparations for former slaves.
In another demonstration of what do you have to lose by voting Remain, a leading Leave supporter was recently arrested after leading a peaceful protest against a pro-EU rally in London. British Prime Minister David Cameron called the Remain camp "a bunch of quacks". He told the crowd: "This is not the message we want to send to Europe today". So, what does this all mean? Will the Remain camp be able to hijack the Remain campaign and cause enough damage to the Remain camp so that it does not deliver the message to Britain that it wants?
One issue that has been discussed among Remain voters is whether the British government should change the date for the EU Referendum. The Vote Leave group wants to have the referendum on the Friday of the June 23rd. If this date is changed before the polls open, the British people will still be able to vote, but there could be a turnout of up to seventy percent of the total population. This would be compared to other major European elections where turnout is typically between thirty and forty percent. There is also concern that there could be chaos in the United Kingdom if the date of the EU Referendum is changed before the voting is taken place.
The last thing that some Remain voters are concerned about is the dangers that drugs may cause during the vote. Many fears have come from news reports and from the testimony of witnesses at a recent inquiry into the deaths of British citizens in terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom. The hearings came as the country gears up for what may be one of the most important international terrorist attacks on American soil since September 11, 2001. In addition to the deaths of the Britons involved in the July 22nd attack in London, several hundred more people were wounded.
All these concerns are driving the black American community to vote to keep the EU Referendum date the same as the nationwide general election. They hope that if they keep voting to remain, then the United Kingdom will remain a free and independent nation. For the Republican Party, the question of whether or not to try and keep the EU away from the national vote is one of the major fundraisers that they dread. If the Republicans win and keep Britain out of the EU, it means that the IRA, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups will have more support in their next proxy war against the United States.
