Britain's EU campaigns restart, polls show momentum for 'In'
London - Arab Today

The campaign to decide Britain's membership of the European Union restarted on Sunday after a three-day hiatus following the killing of lawmaker Jo Cox, with Prime Minister David Cameron warning Britons they faced an "existential choice" on Thursday.

Campaigning activities ahead of the June 23 EU referendum resumed with two opinion polls showing the 'Remain' camp recovering some momentum, although the overall picture remained one of an evenly split electorate.
With five days left until the ballot, the rival campaigns returned with a raft of interviews and articles in Sunday's newspapers, covering the familiar immigration versus economy debate that has defined the campaign so far.
Cameron, who leads the campaign to stay in the EU, urged voters to consider the economic impact that leaving the 28-member bloc would have.
"We face an existential choice on Thursday," he wrote in the Sunday Telegraph. "So ask yourself: have I really heard anything - anything at all - to convince me that leaving would be the best thing for the economic security of my family?"
Michael Gove, a senior spokesman for the rival 'Leave' campaign, said leaving would actually improve Britain's economic position.
"I can't foretell the future but I don't believe that the act of leaving the European Union would make our economic position worse, I think it would make it better," he said in an interview with the same newspaper.
Both men praised Labour Party lawmaker Cox, an ardent supporter of EU membership, who was shot and stabbed in the street in her electoral district in northern England on Thursday. A 52-year-old man appeared in a London magistrate's court on Saturday, charged with her murder.
'Leave' campaigner Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence party (UKIP), appeared to indicate he thought Cox's killing had had an adverse effect on the 'Out' campaign.
"It has an impact on the campaign for everybody," he told ITV's Peston on Sunday show when asked whether it would affect the referendum outcome. "We did have momentum until this terrible tragedy."
