(3) The entire EU backs REMAIN because if the UK leaves, it's an serious existential threat.

It's already been tried. The cut off date for registering to vote was extended by 48 hours to give people a chance to register, because the government website crashed in the final two hours before the official deadline. So, two hours lost - so they increase the deadline by two days! And who does this benefit? Generally younger people most likely not to have bothered to register until now, and most likely to vote to remain.
