Boris Johnson, the mayor of London and most influential politician on the In-Out referendum question after the prime minister according to a recent poll, joined the Out campaign yesterday: “After a great deal of heartache … I will be advocating vote ‘Leave,’” he said.
Boris Johnson, said two weeks ago: “In favour of staying, it is in Britain’s geo-strategic interests to be pretty intimately engaged in the doings of a continent that has a grim 20th-century history, and whose agonies have caused millions of Britons to lose their lives … [Leaving] would dismay some of our closest friends, not least the eastern Europeans for whom the EU has been a force for good: stability, openness, and prosperity.”
