This is the most important vote that there's going to be in my lifetime and I will be voting to Leave even if I'm on death's door and have to drag myself to the polling station. I want my country to be an independent, self-governing, democratic nation again, not tied into ever deeper political, supranational union with other nations. I want to live in a country that makes all of its own laws and isn't governed by unelected foreign beauraucrats and leaders, that can determine exactly who can or cannot come here to live and work, that can introduce even the most basic of border controls, that can vote in and out those who propose and make all of our laws, that can deport foreign criminals without constantly being hampered, that can spend the money it sends to the EU each year entirely on its own people without it being siphoned off through various corrupt EU level institutions, whose supreme court is truly supreme again and not overruled by European judges from very different legal systems, whose own people cannot be deported to sit and rot in jail cells abroad without even the most basic of evidence first being brought before a British judge, that controls its own fishing waters, that is proud and able to compete on the world market without being wedded to a bloated, protectionist block, and whose government (whether I agree with it or not) is able to implement its manifesto promises without being told that it's impossible because EU laws and regulations proscribe it. I think Remain will win (for several reasons, from a weak Leave campaign, to Project Fear persuading enough eurosceptics to not take a risk, to the full weight of the government machine being behind Remain), but the ramifications will be such that the question will not be closed and there will be a constant threat of another vote whenever the EU makes its next power grab (which could be fairly soon after the referendum, if the rumours of EU-wide taxation and EU army proposals being held back until after the vote are true).

You need a time machine and go back to 1500 to get that.
Even if the UK leaves, globalisation will still force it's rules on the UK, or you can try the North Korean route.
