You know, in this instance, over here, in the UK, the Remain side were by far the worst in terms of propagating fear, it goes both ways. Pandering to the lowest common denominator.
I actually think this was learnt from the Scottish referendum. The Yes campaigners ran a positive campaign whereas the No campaign from Westminster was all fear-mongering. Two years later, both sides of the referendum were ran from Westminster and they went back to what previously worked for them.
