The recent referendum was a protest about the country not providing the infrastructure and services for it's people before opening the doors to others.
The referendum was advisory and not legally binding, and no one, not even the leave party expected the outcome.
Individual membership will provide an imcome to the EU, allow free movement without additional paperwork and checks. It is not for large groups to abuse a country's system, but to build friendships and bridges.
