The advantages of Brexit are an unproved risk.

Leaving would be a disaster. For a start the stock market would spiral downwards hitting most of the populations pensions and investments. That in itself is enough to scare most off - not that that's a positive reason, but it's what people vote on.
I can't think of a single thing that this country could not do outside of the EU .Everything from taxation to trade,manufacturing standards to employment law ,nothing in our day to day lives requires us to be in the EU .We can manage perfectly outside of the EU just as most of the world manages outside of the EU .

Correction, there is one thing that we will no longer be able to do and that is blame the EU when our useless politicians make a hash of things .Being outside the EU may in fact make our politicians more accountable when it finally sinks home that the buck stops with them
