1. We are one of the biggest economies in the world, I have full expectancy that maybe the first year things may be a bit rougher but once this whole referendum blows over and reality strikes countries will trade with us.

We're the 5th biggest economy in the world but only a tenth of the size of the United States making us relatively small in comparison. With all the countries in the European Union we are around the size of the States. This allows us to negotiate better trade deals as we are able to act as a whole unit. If we left the EU we'd be left to trade by ourselves and because we're a much smaller economy we'd find it harder to negotiate and would most likely be worse off. If we were as productive as Germany and were running a current account surplus like them then maybe leaving could work, but we're far from it and I don't see the benefits of leaving outweighing the costs.

2. You won't find many Brits that actually like David Cameron, and don't hold his opinion too highly (yes he was voted in, but first past the post is absolute rubbish and needs to be changed) and if anything, the fact we have a PM who isn't optimistic and doesn't believe this country could survive on its own speaks volumes for itself really.

I strongly dislike Cameron but it's not just him who wants to remain.
There's also a lot of people who want to leave but half of them are known for being racists or just down right idiots.
