How committed really are the leaders of the remain campaign?
Cameron – headlines less than 2 years ago
Cameron: I’m ready to lead Britain out of Europe if migrant reforms fail (The Telegraph 27 November 2014)
Leaving EU would not break my heart, says David Cameron (The Guardian 30 September 2014) PM’s latest comments imply he would not fight as hard for Britain to stay in the EU as he did for Scotland to remain in the union
David Cameron willing to recommend vote to leave EU in referendum (The Guardian 28 September 2014) But PM says he is confident he will secure British opt-out from EU’s founding declaration to create ‘ever closer union’
So,OK he achieved the latter and it can be argued that he would have to have said these things to show the EU he meant business in his negotiations.

Do they really care either way? Will they be voting for what they have most recently stood for in the secrecy of the polling booth?!
I would say that the remain campaign has been somewhat lacklustre perhaps because of their own frustrations with the EU, unless I have missed the rousing speeches and confident assurances that remain really is the right way to go for the younger generation and ones to follow.
Whatever happens, and if remain wins at least it won’t be a landslide because that would indicate to Brussels that the UK citizens are happy with the status quo
