As an American, I have no binding personal interest in this fight.
That said, I have as of yet to see anyone on the Remainder side articulate any specific advantage to staying a part of the EU.
The negatives have been elaborated extensively, oddly, by both sides. Payments to an unaccountable bureaucratic organization (i.e. the EU), momement and long term occupation of British territory by non-British subjects (anyone been to London lately?) and a generalized loss of autonomy to an unelected group of globalists in Brussels via an uncontrollable regulatory process by people who do not live in the UK in any event.
As for access to European markets, well, both sides need this anyway. Maybe some kind of tarriff/taxation issue exits, but that can be worked out with individual states in any event.

It's really working out well globally, isn't it? I mean, economically, of course.
grzegorz wrote: What I do find interesting is that some Americans are trying to claim that the EU represents the globalists when actually the EU was started to resist American globalization. The US used to bully individual European countries to bend to US will which is why the EU started much like the way any labor union starts.
The US is ultimate in pushing a globalist agenda which screws nations.

Otoh, the Earth is a globe and we're stuck on it.
