I would prefer a referendum on the EU and how much more of our laws, history, and individuality we give them control off. At the moment we bend over and take one every day from a bunch of unelected money wasting bureaucrats in brussels.

Regardless of the result all this uncertainty is going to hurt the country badly for years as companies choose to invest elsewhere. All for the political gain.
The rest of Europe care less than we think if we're in or out, we're increasingly insignificant.
