My comment was tongue in cheek - the only evidence we have of gauging public opinion, is the vote that took place. I accept that there is a proportion of the population that were too young to vote last time might swing a future vote, largely due to the widespread remain propaganda propagated by mainstream media and social media channels.
I don't accept (appreciate you are not suggesting this) that anyone will have significantly changed their mind, this thread itself would be reasonable evidence of this. There is a likelihood of leave voters not casting their vote a 2nd time around. The 1st vote should have set wheels in motion, however there seems to have been a tirade of action against it, which will make many feel that it is pointless.
I also don't accept that those who were able but didn't vote, would all turn out in support of remain. I'd expect, that their vote would largely resemble those who already did vote, again as the only reliable evidence we have of an outcome, is the one we already have.
Ultimately, predicting how a future vote would go, is only going to be a guess, I'm pretty certain Cameron wasn't expecting a Leave vote, so even those with the best analytics cannot predict what may or not happen.
The fact that we even have to have this debate, shows what a falsity our democracy is, and god knows what May is doing, as it doesn't reflect what anyone voted for.[/QU
Adi got to agree with you it's all guess work how any future vote would go I always thought the vote was secret But they keep telling us how different classes and age voted Theve managed to get the young blaming the old for the result But anybody takes to look at the figures will see that in May2016 there were 11.25million over 65s in the UK assuming 100% voted leave it's long way short of 17million Don't think there will be another vote but it's pretty irrelevant because they are only advisory ( or so we keep being told )
