I actually think this was learnt from the Scottish referendum. The Yes campaigners ran a positive campaign whereas the No campaign from Westminster was all fear-mongering. Two years later, both sides of the referendum were ran from Westminster and they went back to what previously worked for them.
It's the single biggest thing that pissed me off about the campaign, especially from the remain side, not once did I hear Cameron or Blair wax lyrical about the improvements the EU has made to people's everyday lives. All we heard was the prospect of armageddon if we left.
