Gone Fishin'
Idea; for the British public to be more accepting of the European Project, you would essentially need Britain to not be involved in the EEC, which would need Labour to openly be Euroskeptic. Obviously for Wilson to do so this would be difficult, as the man's hands were tied, and having him step down in 1970 or 1971 would only result in Roy Jenkins, but if you can maneuver the situation into where Heath still cranks out the deal but you have Barbra Castle or even Peter Shore in the drivers seat when the referendum comes around, then you can have an environment where Labour are more inclined to oppose the EEC, and thus shift a vote against the EEC. Though having a more competent leader instead of Wilson or a larger majority would make it easier.
Again though, had Major called a referendum on Maastricht, or if Blair had done one himself (Blair toyed with a Referendum on the Euro before Brown told him a change from Sterling wasn't happening), then you could see a noticeably less Euroskeptic Britain. But that really only erases the issues of 'democracy', which will still be a recurring issue in the future.
And Hong Kong maybe, but that would have required China imploding and an Independence movement being more silent.

I'm going to dig out that graph @AndyC did, then the numbers of young people who voted and if all the none-voters could have actually flipped the vote, because I suspect they couldn't.If the young always win, then that means that Brexit wouldn't have happened...
And I disagree that UK could've kept Singapore...
