I hate the use of the word "troubles"

that's something I am in when i can't find my phone or car keys..Not a massacre

It was never brought up by either campaign, the UK is made up of many nationalities who can vote, its not just British people who have the right to vote, I have Pakistani and Indian friends who voted who would have no idea of the past problems in NI, there has been peace for 20 years so why would they, some of them would have been in their early teens when the Good Friday Agreement was passed, none of the politicians mentioned in in either the leave or remain campaign, although I am waiting for Two Sugars to clarify this

I remember on the day before the ref an Indian friend saying all her family were voting to go out, because of the possible trade deal with India and visa free movement, everyone has their own reasons for voting the way they did, they are considering themselves and their families first and foremost
