United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron has made a personal appeal to the British population to vote Remain in Thursday's make-or-break referendum.

Speaking on the podium in front of 10 Downing Street, Cameron opened by saying he would like to address the public "directly and personally".

The PM went on to speak about various factors as to why Britain is better off inside the EU than out, including issues surrounding national security.

"I've seen it time and again on a very practical level that we are safer in Europe than out on our own," Cameron said.

In a moment that contained a mixture of honesty and desperation, the PM admitted that he had got things wrong since he had taken office, but that he was certain that staying in the EU is the right decision.

"I know I haven't got every decision right and I know some people are not happy with everything I've done...Brits don't quit. If we leave, our neighbours will go on maing decisions about us, without us."

Before his return to the comfort of his Downing Street settee, he made an impassioned flourish as a final call to arms.

"For you, for your family, for the future of our country, vote Remain," he said.

As polls show the proximity of the two sides as being too close to call, both the Remain and Leave campaigns are making last-ditch attempts to win over the undecided voters ahead of Thursday's referendum.
