I think there is a question people will ask of what in their day-to-day life would be made better by leaving the EU and is that worth the risk/uncertainty?
There are a lot of questions about what happens next if we leave. What kind of trade deals would we get? Would the service industry be affected? How long will we be in the state of not knowing, 2 years?
If you're asking someone to disrupt the status-quo in a system in which they're
relatively alright then I think you need a less abstract reward than 'sovereignty'.

Because there is no good argument to staying in the burning building and locking the door.

If your argument is that changing the status-quo will make matters worse then that's going to be a fearful argument but it doesn't mean it's invalid. The same was said in the Scottish Referendum, it was all 'Project Fear', but it turns out that some of that scaremongering became true.
Brexit doesn't have the moral high ground here anyway. You've linked stories about
witches coming to the UK and ISIS terrorists flooding in from a newly admitted
Turkey.
I didn't see everyone on here condemning the Tory election campaign for whipping up fears of a Labour-SNP alliance against Scotland or Miliband 'stabbing the country in the back' either. Not sure where this sudden offence at using fear/uncertainty to win an election comes from but it's been otherwise absent until now.
