Facebook discussion on finding common ground.
I think one argument that wasn't made clearly enough during the referendum campaign is that it is perfectly possible to be a signed-up card carrying member of the Racists party and still want to vote to stay in the EU just for our own selfish reasons.
One of the ironies for people who voted for Brexit in an attempt to reduce the overcrowding in the UK is that the continuing fall in the pound is going to have all our holiday destinations overrun with both foreign and domestic tourists.
Given the roughly 50-50 referendum vote, perhaps the UK could be split into 2 countries... one which stays in the EU and one which leaves. And then people could be given a 5-10 year opportunity to decide which of these countries they want to live in.

With a 30% trade share of GDP, this implies a 3.6% decline in effective British purchasing power.

British Lose Right to Claim That Americans Are Dumber - The New Yorker
Quite apart from the obvious catastrophe (financial, political and human) that leaving the EU is, I think the main reason that the pro-EU campaign is so angry in the wake of the referendum, is because there is a strong sense that the break-up campaign "won by cheating"...
That is to say, there is a strong sense that the break-up campaign won by duping susceptible people into voting to break-up for reasons that were (1) patent lies (2) not really genuine alternatives to what we have (3) matters that in fact had no relevance to the question being decided at all.
This impression is amplified by the fact that it has become apparent in the wake of the break-up victory that the break-up campaign have no clear or constructive plan in respect of what to replace EU membership with.
They focused on what they didn't want but they have nothing to offer in respect of what to replace it with.

If the EU started an individual membership scheme where we could join for £5 per week, I would be in.
I'm thinking there ought to be a way of subscribing for direct membership of the European Union on an individual basis for those of us who don't want to loose access to the various benefits (eg. access to living and working in the 27 countries in the block).

"People who said the economy was the most important issue to them, and who disapproved of Obama’s economic record, were shown a graph of nonfarm employment over the prior year – a rising line, adding about a million jobs. They were asked whether the number of people with jobs had gone up, down or stayed about the same. Many, looking straight at the graph, said down."

(3) They are malevolent - they are deliberately distorting what they know is the truth for their own selfish purposes."

Boris Johnson's government has embarked on a costly propaganda campaign funded by the taxpayer. You’ve probably seen the billboards and newspapers splashed with the words “Get ready for Brexit”. These advertisements offer little advice on how anyone can begin preparations for Brexit (it’s not even clear whether we can, beyond stockpiling tinned food and water like some kind of doomsday cult), just warns us that we all must start, and start immediately. It's bit like a pilot shouting “brace for impact'' as hundreds of passengers plunge helplessly towards the ground.
