What autonomy? England would be a small country that would be heavily reliant on the good-will of the EU and the US. Right now it can negotiate with the US or China or Russia as a member of the EU with that combined negotiating power

As just england, it would have little more negotiating power than NOrway -- and note that Norway has to follow ALL the EU rules, pay in to the EU money and has ZERO say in the rule making. That's a bad deal

England has only the financial services industry to rely on and that would shrink in the event of Brexit -- and England would be dependent on the EU letting the provide financial services to EU clients.

No, leaving the EU would weaken England irrevocably. And for individualism, they would have even less individualism when they have to kow-tow to the demands of the EU, US, China, India, Russia etc. separately as a middling power
