Not only does Vote Leave (the group which has fancied itself as the front-runner to lead the Out campaign) seem to be falling apart in bitter internal strife, but its leading figures seem so confused as to what they are campaigning for that some even cling to the hope that, if Cameron pulls off a satisfactory “deal”, they could somehow argue for us to remain in the EU as an “associate member”. This, though, would firmly rule them out of being “designated” for the lead role, since the law is clear that any group so designated must be committed unequivocally to the proposition voters are being asked to support.
