I'm not sure why you can't or won't agree. I don't think there's anything controversial about it. It's just maths.

600,000 people die a year in the UK, the overwhelming majority of which are older people. Older people voted 66% to leave. Therefore of the circa 1.8m people who have died since the referendum, wouldn't it be reasonable to surmise that 1.2m (66%) were leave voters? You could reduce the figures slightly to reflect that not everyone would vote, but the older demographic typically have very high turnouts.

I'm not saying it's the smoking gun to overturn the 1st referendum, but it's a valid consideration.

Too hard for Remain voters and too soft for Leave voters.

As for apathy among young voters, you bet there was.
Despite this being the biggest "threat" to their futures and with most to lose (or gain), only 36% of 18 -24 year olds bothered to cast a vote and when you consider that the overall turnout was over 70%, this is appalling.

Ultimately, they (the younger generation) will endure any changes for the longest amount of time.
If Farage was right, they will have a better future than their parents / grandparents but, if he was wrong...……….


If its to hard for remain and to soft for leave then hey we have a compromise surely :D

I didn't realise that only 36% of 18-24 yr old voted, oh well might encourage them to use their vote in the future

Yes, it (the low turnout) certainly shoots holes in the argument about 16-18 year olds not having had the chance to vote. They need the will to use it first :oops:

No deal currently at 4-1 with Coral and Ladbrokes.

Time for some light prepping this weekend, I think. Get the panic in early. Makes you think about the true essentials in life. Bog roll being right up there.
