"A million leave voters have died",how low can these remoaners get.What about the lies to entice students to vote for labour by promising "no student fees". After they had captured their votes by dishonest means ,Corbyn confessed he could not deliver that but no apology.Also the promise of honouring the leave vote,once again another lie.
The fact that people have died in 2016 is politically neutral: people die. The fact that older people overwhelmingly vote for leave and young voters overwhelmingly vote remain is also backed up in every survey since.
If the facts upset you, then you probably need to stop being such a snowflake.

I don't, but neither do you... hence why we should have a new referendum.
On the basis of the demographic shift, you have to make the case that the votes of now dead people is more important than the votes of living people who were too young to vote at the time of the referendum that will affect the rest of their life.
How on earth have you come to the conclusion that I'm saying nobody changed their minds!?
You're fundamentally not understanding.
Let me spell it out. I'm saying remain has a majority on the basis of demographic shift but we have no way to know what the majority of the country wants now we know what the deal looks like unless we have a referendum. Asking the country what it wants on the basis of all the facts is the very epitome of democracy.
I agree that analysis of the 2016 vote shows that younger people were more likely to vote Remain than Leave. Following from that it"s hard to argue with the proposition that a higher proportion of the people who have died since then were Leave than Remain voters.
I think that where your argument falls down is that people do not stop aging after they reach 18. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the likely position of a member of the electorate on the EU remains static as they age. In other words there is no reason to believe that the Leave voters who have died since 2016 have not been replaced by Remainers who have changed their stance.
I voted remain in 2016, but would have to think long and hard before deciding how to vote in a further referendum.
You could put your theory to the test in a further referendum, but my observations on that remain. I think it would be incredibly harmful and would be unlikely to solve the issue.
I also question whether the quality of the debate within a further referendum campaign would be any better than in 2016 such as to leave the electorate better informed, John. Politicians from both sides of the debate are already spinning on the deal. Labour were doing it before the detail of the deal was announced. On here, we've had a harbinger of a new 'Project Fear' with a poster seeming to argue that accepting the deal would see a risk of British workers being given only six days of paid leave per year, even though we seemed to manage perfectly well before EU law on the issue.
And, of course, if you are right on the demographic point, surely you are only going to have to wait for a Parliament or two before the political make up of the country delivers a strong Parliamentary majority for rejoining the EU?
