LONDON (Sputnik) — The British electorate is unlikely to vote in favor of the country leaving the European Union as the Remain campaign has more establishment backing and is being run more effectively, Chair of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee Crispin Blunt said.

"I personally anticipate that the Remain [side] will win because of the way the campaign is being run and the weight of establishment opinion, which is being unfairly, in my judgment, thrown at the electorate, and… a very carefully crafted, very professionally crafted one by the Remain side," Blunt told RIA Novosti.
