Another opportunity for traders to make money out of volatility.
In the end, I don't think status quo is going to change. There is no pressing need for Britain to exit the EU.

Everyone I speak to wants out of Europe, me included.

Why would you want to stay, look at the data

This argument is true for most of the Western European nations, including Germany, France, Netherlands, and Belgium. The European Union is an uneasy alliance of the rich Western European nations and the backward Eastern European nations. There is a delicate equilibrium between the two group of nations. But this equilibrium will be lost if one of the richer nations cancel the EU membership.

Plus as a bonus we are getting uncontrolled immigration putting excessive strain on the NHS, Benefits and education system.  Too many takers and not enough contributors.

The Brexit is very unlikely. The British are generally not in favor of changing the status quo. So I assume that most of the people who give out their opinion as "Undecided" in the opinion poll will vote against Brexit during the referendum. However, if the Brexit actually occurs, then it will negatively affect the EU in a big way.
What you say is true but most of the Brits don't care aboute Europe: they drive on the left side, they have sterlings instead of euro and so on.
If they are out that's Europe's problems not theirs.

Because it would be a smart thing to change the traditional side you drive on based on joining a union? That is something completely unrelated.

Also, they are not the only country in the EU that held their own currency in favor of the euro.

If they go out it is for sure a big problem for Europe, but also for the Brits. Imagine the impact on their economy. No more easy traveling there for EU citizins. No more tax free shipping, etc. It would severly impact their export and tourism and they can't handle that.

I heard comments today about UK Prime Minister Cameron's latest proposal for staying in the EU, the idea is in peril there.  Boris Johnson, the Marxist mayor of London wants OUT (as do many others).  Britain has a much larger economy that Greece, and of course is much more integrated into Europe as a whole.

I am not really knowledgeable about Britain and Europe -- it SEEMS like an important relationship, and were Britain to leave that would likely create a LOT of stress and other problems. 

The UK Pound fell today...
