OT: Vote wisely

[arnapie]

Surely 2016 was the rerun of ‘75

Yes, but by your reckoning, most of those who voted IN will be dead now.

New vote now to include those born 1957, 58 and 59?

Valid point my rectum. Show me the "stats" that proves older people voted leave. These are the same people that voted us INTO Europe in the first place, so maybe the old buggers have seen that was a mistake, and want us out. I was 18 on the day AFTER the vote in 1975, so unable to vote. I would have voted out, but accepted the result, can I have that vote re-run?

Happy to show you the stats. This is the age breakdown on the YouGov site:

18-24 - 29% leave, 71% remain
25-49 - 46% leave, 54% remain
50-64 - 60% leave, 40% remain
65 + - 64% leave, 36% remain

If you prefer to keep your head buried in the sand that's your choice, but that's the way it happened.

Yes please as I’m a 59er

This one sentence explains EXACTLY why turnout is higher. Up to the 2016 Referendum barely half the population gave a toss about Europe, but walk into any bar / shop / bus queue, and everyone now has an opinion about Brexit, and most are sick of it dragging on and on. The BREXIT party will storm this vote.

In the past half an hour you’ve accused me of making things up, which turned out to be wrong, and you’ve also assumed that Remain voters will have died at the same rate as Leave voters over the last 3 years, which turned out to be wrong as well. But you’re confidently forecasting that the Brexit “Party”(it’s not a party because it doesn’t have any members) will “storm” the vote.

Better to wait and see eh?

And how many of those 17.4 m are now dead?

How many young people are now eligible to vote who weren’t in 2016?

New vote needed

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

[arnapie]

Just over 70% of 18 to 24-year-olds who voted in the referendum backed Remain, four major academic and commercial polls conducted shortly after the ballot agree, with just under 30% backing Leave.

In contrast, only 40% of those aged 65 and over supported Remain, while 60% placed their cross against Leave.

Sample polled - 5455.

People who actually voted - 34 million.

Uneducated class, over 65's most likely to have voted leave

Not sure how they can make those claims.

t Remain voters will have died at the same rate as Leave voters over the last 3 years, which turned out to be wrong as well.

accused me of making things up - apologies for that, hadn't seen that chart until now.

Where are the "facts" that more Leave than Remain have died since 2016?

"Brexit “Party”(it’s not a party because it doesn’t have any members)"-- They have over 110,000 paid up supporters, £25 each, who will become members if Farage has to declare the Party to fight in a general election.
