They will not believe anything positive about remaining because that
goes against their emotions so any argument is a waste of effort. The
best you can do is influence the undecided who may actually think about
it unlike harry and friends.

Its very revealing that you say that Dennis, because it shows exactly whey
you are a remainer

Emotional reasons.

"They will not believe anything positive about remaining..."
AFAIC there *is* nothing positive about remaining.
From "Der Spiegel":

Falls die Briten gegen den Brexit stimmen, vielleicht sogar mit 55 oder 60
Prozent und nicht nur mit 50,01 Prozent, dann ist dies ein Mandat. Dann sollten
die Briten so souverän sein, mit dem aufzuhören, was dem Rest Europas seit
Jahren auf die Nerven geht: mit Sonderwünschen, Selbstmitleid und diesem elenden
Gefeilsche um allerletzte Details.

Translated:-
Should the British vote against Brexit, perhaps by 55% or 60% rather than
50.1%, then that would be a mandate. Then the British should stop doing the
things that have irritated the rest of Europe for years: special requests,
self-pity and wretched haggling over every last detail.

In other words: IF you remain in the EU, at some point you *will* have to
toe the line.

WHY WE SHOULD LEAVE THE EU.
Master Investor, economist and entrepreneur, Jim Mellon, argues Britain is
better off leaving the "sinking ship" that is the European Union. If we stay in
the EU, within 3-5 years Britain will be forced to deal with the devastating
knock-on effects of a collapsing Euro and continental-wide depression.
