I've voted to stay.
I feel the issues are incredibly complex and I don't pretend to have all the information. I think most people voting in this referendum will be in the same position. I'm not sure if a referendum is even sensible.
I've had to go with what I consider to be the more convincing side, and that is staying.
I think joining the EU in the first place probably turned out to be a mistake (although I don't think we knew what were getting ourselves into). But that's irrelevant now, and it's a matter of whether the benefits of leaving outweigh the harm it will likely cause, not just to us but to the world. In my opinion, no.
I did a video about this earlier where I go into more detail:
