Prime Minister David Cameron entered the final week of campaigning ahead of the UK’s referendum on European Union membership with an accusation that his opponents are trying to deceive people into voting to leave.
After 2 1/2 days when campaigning was suspended following the murder of Labour lawmaker Jo Cox, Sunday saw both sides return to the fray. The prime minister, taking audience questions on a BBC television special, criticised his opponents both over the tone of some of their anti-immigration messages and specific claims they’ve made.
He singled out their assertions that Turkey is joining the EU; that Britain would have to sign up to a European army; and that EU membership costs Britain 350 million pounds ($674 million) a week as examples of lies by his opponents.
“I’m sure there are arguments for leaving, but those three, which are the three leading things on their leaflets, are simply not true,” a visibly riled Cameron said. “It would be a tragedy if we damaged our economy and wrecked job prospects in our country on the basis of three things that are completely untrue.”
The referendum on June 23 is being watched by governments and investors all around the world amid worries that a so-called Brexit would spark a wave of turmoil across global markets. Polls suggest the result is still too close to call. The pound rose against the dollar in early Monday trading in Asian markets, following polls published Sunday showing “Remain” regaining the lead that it had lost in recent weeks.
