If you accept the premise that Britain dearly needs the Common Market, it has two choices:
Be a member of the EU, pay some money (but because of the "special British rebate" rather little money), accept all regulations and have a say in them.
Or exit the EU, negotiate an agreement (time frame unknown), pay a little less money (but not very much so, because the rebate is not going to carry over to these deals), accept most regulations and have no say in them.
To me it seems to be a no-brainer, but it's obviously mostly an emotional referendum.
From "the other side" I believe a Brexit would be bad for us, as well, but there's still an uncivilized, gleeful, action-craving part of me that hopes for the Brexit. :-|
