Hague was only leader because Portillo lost his seat last time.
The 75% is incorrect (it's probably near a 50/50), but the fact it gets reported as that is significant.
The referundum will probably be phrased

Of course, no-one knows the conditions except those who will make the decision.
(as in - oh, we've already met them - shock!)
