Directed advertising, social media advertising, newspaper articles, FULL page newspaper adverts, opinions by 'experts' talkshows, TV debates , radio phone ins etc are all part of the discussion (for both sides) - and there was lots and lots and lots of that - with a record turn out. There were always going to be people who would leave and always those that would remain. Everyone else made an informed decision - as best they could - or didnt vote.
