Leave would walk a new vote..the sleeping masses would come out in droves....but it won't happen so it's a mute point.

I think that if we were to do another referendum now, it would be Remain that would take Leave's narrow majority but to do so would just mean more referendums that won't lead anywhere. |

As for the bull**** about liberal viewpoints being something you grow out of, if that was true it would still be illegal to be gay and segregation would still be a thing but it's not. In the past 20 years alone, there's been more victories in the battle for gay rights then there's been in the decades preceding it. Not since the days of the Stonewall riots and the legalisation of gay sex has there been such an explosion of progress for the LGBT cause.
If what you were saying was true, Alf, none of that progress would have ever come to pass. |

i think it is simplistic to say that the younger generation support close ties with the EU when that's all they have ever known and therefore have no reference to compare against. If an independent UK exists for 4 decades lets see what the demographics reflect then.

It's not wisdom when you're just making wild accusations.
Conservatives have relied on the grey vote for years, come the next election it's a given that many might not be here to vote and I don't see there being as many minded to replace them.

there is no such thing as a life long supporter any more, apart from some entrenched hardliners I've voted for everyone but the cons over the years, I am sure a lot of people have done the same, as people get older they tend to vote on polices, ask Nick Clegg why the lib dems did so well when their policy was to axe tuition fees, ask Mrs May why she did so badly in the last election...was it not something to do with her social care policy? it certainly wasn't turkeys voting for Christmas that is for sure, the grey vote just like any other vote can go anywhere

I remember a certain member at the last election saying it was pointless voting as there were too many old people, I won't mention his name to spare his blushes.... I suggested Mays social policy and Corbyns popularity with the youth might suggest otherwise...he was having none of it, probably didn't vote either

The older vote does tend to go the tories. I expect the reason for this is quite simple..people do not vote on policies as such, they vote on who they would be better off under. Obviously poor people and younger ones are not likely to vote Tory, hwever, as they get older, get more savings, higher wages, own houses, etc...Torys look more appealing, as they tend to look after those well off and only target those very poor for cuts and such. So people turning more and more Tory as they age, makes a lot of sense to me really. I know loads will say they vote on whats best for the country, etc etc, but I do think really..most people vote on whats best for them..and I don't really see a problem with that.
Disclaimer - Not all older people are like that, etc etc. Obvioudly speaking broadly here. Given it seems I have to specify evertime I post that I do not mean every single member of a group thinks the same, and that. Even though that should go without saying..

No that's not the whole Story
he is still saying the Benn act is not the whole story and will leave on the 31st. At the same time as the lawyers stating he will follow the Benn act. |

He hasn't got much choice has he ? but I'm guessing some of the remainers will be ready to pounce on him at every opportunity they can, I still think Boris would win a GE whenever that takes place,people will not forget how he was blocked at every turn .

Easily led Brexiters will remember whatever fairy tale they want to hear.
If you think Boris is a victim then you aren't paying attention. |

I doubt anyone being really serious would ever see Johnson as a victim. Only his extreme hardline diehard supporters could think that. Not a chance is he. After his plotting, deceit, lies and backstabbing against his 2 former Prime Miinister leaders. Victim indeed. It's those who oppose him who are the real victims, of his actions. |
