Brexit was the betrayal of the young by the old

Brexiting. A series on being English. #16


If the Brexit referendum were held in 2024, the Remain vote would outnumber the Leave vote by at least 4 million, not including the people who regret having voted for Brexit. If the latter were included, an estimated 70% would vote for Remain.
It was the generation over 50, the baby boomers and society builders born between 1946 and 1976 and the older folks who voted for Brexit while the people born after that voted for Brexit.
Since, 2.8 million Brexit voters have died. The difference in 2016 was 1.3 million in favour of Brexit.
