In 5 years, you're in the minority In 5 years, we won't have made trade deals with the rest of the world In 5 years, we won't have re-done the laws of the UK in any significant way. Brexit voters may still be around, but the Brexit majority will be dead.https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/963522281031991299 …

I'm young and voted leave... many young people I know also voted out. Defo some biased by Sky News..
-
My son voted leave, while in his final year at university.
-
So did my son and daughter

People who smoke sometimes live to 100! It's just statistics.
-
I voted leave and I was 18 at the time, as did a lot of my friends. The number who voted leave is actually far higher than people realise.

Julia, I am a middle aged mother with two kids aged 14 and 12. I voted Leave for my kids future. I reckon its their future too!
-
I am a mature grandfather and it was with my children grandkids in mind that I voted leave. Not my own.
-
Really? How nasty.
-
Not intentionally nasty. Read all the stuff and voted. isn't that what you did?
-
The propaganda stuff or the factual stuff?
-
Mainly I focussed on the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties. Is that the propaganda stuff or the factual stuff as far as you are concerned?
-
Both of which our democratically elected government, democratically voted on.
-
With no mandate from the UK citizens. Lisbon certainly only appeared in election manifestos as something we would be given a vote on - later reneged on.

The generational arguments have to stop, in all aspects in politics. You can’t speak for whole generations. Many young people voted Leave, many young people hold conservative views (small c). I’m one of them (19).
-
Just a reality that the older you are, the more likely to have voted Leave.. JHB seems to have an issue with it? https://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/ …
-
That’s correct when you look at the demos. Not that I’d want to speak for Julia but I imagine that her issue (and mine) is that these people A. Try to speak for the younger generation when they have no right to, and B. Vilify and treat the older generations as 2nd class citizens.
-
So it's just reality as you say that older folk tended to vote Leave (that's democracy) It's not an insult. Try reading some of the Brexiter comments on here for insults..

-
It’s an insult to complain that these people’s votes were somehow unjust and should be discounted, despite the fact they live in the UK and have done longer than many of us. And as a result to complain that the vote is unjust based on these votes, is an insult too.
-
It's an insult that people/ politicians think YP are not mature enough to vote. No one says that about old or older people.
-
Except younger people did vote in the referendum, and nobody is trying to question their right to vote/discount their vote on June 23rd 2016.
