The well-educated people have been promising growth and prosperity to the less-educated for the last 30 years or so.
It did work out quite well for the well-educated, but not so well for the less-educated. So now the less-educated beg to differ.

The older, less-educated and less-productive members of society are robbing their children of a future they not only desire but voted to preserve. A sad day for the youth of the UK.
- chombier 10y agoThere was also a lower turnout rate in the younger population, which I guess the less-educated contribute a lot to. The remain vote was around 60% of total younger population, with around 20% non-voters. The proportion of remain votes drops steadily as age goes up. This suggests that people get more and more critical of EU's ability to create jobs and wealth as their work and life experience increases, whereas younger people have praised EU's role in education and cultural exchanges. Why should it be "robbing their children of a future"? If people see no improvement in their life within the EU (quite the opposite in many cases), why should they want this future for their children? How is this robbing?
