        I agree that this result is bad, but scared of the idea of reducing people's voting power via age.

        is this not also an "us vs them" mentality?

        - Maybe. I think it's just frustration. Also, I think the " us v. them" mentality somewhat inherent in those 2 groups

        it's odd that something as important as leaving the EU doesn't come down to a 2/3rds majority vote...

        that's a bit rough but I do think there's a conversation there. Discrimination vs post-mortem responsibilities.
