Getting back to the topic.. I voted NO.
Myself, I'm from the Netherlands and a similair discussion will start soon in my country.
A very rightwing and populist movement is starting to take shape in Holland (and perhaps in the whole of Europe).
Why do I say no?
Well, think about it, 55% of your trade is with Europe! And yes, this will also continue when you get out of the EU, as will the regulations.

Therefore if the UK decides to leave the EU, you will have to comply to the same regulations but without a voice in the European parlement.
Furthermore, your banking sector has grown enormously after the EU was formed, this will also crumble may you leave the EU.

One could argue whether it ever has been a good idea to start with the EU, but that's not what your vote is about. Your vote should help your country forward and not only be fueled by emotions.
