errr
Why it's good to be in the EU, what great things will happen in the future. What are the benefits to each individual - you know, all the good stuff that we get from being a member.
Go negative and the reaction is always bad.

Stuff like keeping the pound and the FTSE at a decent level? Protecting everyones jobs?
Was that message not coming through?
What do you say to people who are willing to vote down a recession upon themselves?

we have no idea if that will happen
lower pound, exports more attractive. But the truth is no-one knows what will happen next. Even George Soros who creates choas to make money got it wrong, although he probably had a pretty good hedge running.
I was convinced that we would remain, or if it was a narrow leave vote that we would be persuaded to stay. I still think that is possible, but it won't help if we carry on insulting our neighbours for not voting the same way we did.

pound and FTSE have already plunged
Exports not more attractive if you cant get them as easily into the market place.
All going exactly as the Remain camp claimed it would so far

Nothing has changed
Its people making money on the markets, they ran exit polls and bet big on this. Everyone expected a drop on a leave vote, you have to wait a while to see where things end up once the spivs have lined their pockets.
Any trade barriers put up will hurt the EU far worse than the UK. Also, we export mostly outside the EU, so noting has changed there. A lot goes through EU ports and looks like EU exports, but it ends up elsewhere.
I would wait and see before claiming the world is collapsing

Me too
I work in France for a large French organisation and live in the UK, so I have a very strong interest in what happens next. I also did a lot of checking before the vote and spoke with lawyers.
By the way, the French are even more eurosceptic than the UK. If there wasn't a Brexit, I would have anticipated one of the other EU countries voting to leave. There is a lot of discontent throughout the EU with how Brussels has handled recent crises.

I did a lot of checking too
I didnt speak to any lawyers but I did have the massed ranks of the world's politicans, economists, historians, constitutional experts, and business people lining up on telly every night for a month telling me it was a bad idea. Nobel prize winners, the lot

For years any problem with the UK has been blamed by politicians and the media on the EU, from NHS waiting lists to wage stagnation. The positives of EU membership is schrodingers cat...without doing over 40 years without the EU any positive can be seen by opponents as irrelevant.
