Sarah has changed her mind and will be voting "remain"
One would hope that an MP would realise the referendum vote is about the principal of whether to stay in the EU or not, changing sides because the campaigners said something wrong is not a reason to change your vote - you are not voting for campaigners you are voting for the principal.
She would be somewhat naive if she believes the other side hasn't made preposterous claims as well.
So three choices as to why she changed camp:- Did she bottle going against Cameron (but hopefully he would realise the futility of her reason)?, was she given no choice? or is this a tactical manoeuvre by the Tory party to have a stream of people changing their mind to vote stay, hoping that it spreads the idea to the public.
If we see a stream of Tory MP's defecting from "out" I hope their petty manipulation is exposed.

I've heard supporters of the "leave" camp claiming she was a plant and was "remain" all along.

Too much publicity around the individuals, this is not an election, nobody is being selected.
Loads of media reports on the Cameron/Farage debate are talking about how well the individuals performed - it doesn't matter, you aren't voting for individuals.
This is the dirtiest and lowest campaign I have ever seen in British politics, they have reached the sludge at the bottom to totally mislead the public. The issues that matter are hardly discussed - those issues are how the UK is governed, whether we wish to be governed by the unaccountable EU officials or the accountable UK politicians - trade, immigration, personalities etc are only a small part of the most important matter...
Do we want a democratic or totalitarianistic governance?
They are even goading Corbyn into doing more - only so they can shoot him down, he's made his opinions quite clear, why does he need to say more?

Was wondering myself why she defected or maybe should say defecated. Snap polls and most people i've spoken to are definite Leavers but bookies say almost 70% remain 30% leave ?? Younger people have no real idea about the reasons as all they have known is being in the EU. My own convictions to leave have grown over 20 odd years since Jim Goldsmiths jingoistic Referendum Party Political Broadcast http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...26F941430720&fsscr=0&FORM=VDFSRV
