The biggest issue for me has always been the demographics. Older people voted for Brexit, old people tend to die more than you people. I did a back of a fag packet calculation when this was voted for and noted then that the majority would have died by the time Brexit actually got implemented.
So to get to the point, has anyone changed their mind, or is this just brexiteers dying?
- jaclaz 4y agoInteresting possibility, to this you add that (likely) young people that became eligible for voting tend to be more pro-EU and anyway go against the status quo, and the 10 years after vote could be easily reversed. But for getting 60% or more there is anyway the need of lots of people changing their mind. I still believe (maybe wrongly) that part of the reasons why Brexit succeeded was because the voters were not properly told what the advantages and disadvantages could have been, so a certain number of people voted for Brexit without really-really being convinced.
