I'm seeing so many people with the same views as Mock and it's kind of worrying. Why do some young people think they're the only ones that matter? It's disgraceful that they think the older generation, that has lived in this country a lot longer than them, shouldn't have the right to vote.

Can't speak directly for anyone else, but I have to say... Err... Yes I would say that my own situation (and that of my family) is the only one that particularly matters to me, and in my opinion, anyone who thinks differently is ****ing bonkers. No one else is looking out for you .

Alsace from France, Quebec in Canada... I could go on, this city or province leaving the country's government is becoming increasingly popular I think. Just imagine Great Britains economy though if London left them. Such a foolish and ignorant choice to vote leave sorry not sorry

Nope, they're voting for my future too, and my sisters, and my friends, and her friends, and my cousins, and their friends... Who happen to agree with the older generation and voted out.

No but I am sure you can find it if you disbelieve me,on whatever news channel it was on, it was when Farage said that he thought the remain side had just edged it, then it was said that possibly the extension period for voting registration could have helped with that.

I watched news on Sky,BBC and ITV it was on one of them, find it if you will but anyway I do not tell lies to make a point.

The tune changed dramatically when it was then predicted later that 'leave' was likely to end up ahead.

And this woman from buzz feed who wishes she could now vote remain because her and family didn't realise that things such as Cameron leaving and what's already happening would actually be happening.

Just seen this lot on the news

Well it's the same kind of nationalist populism sentiment that is facilitating Trump's success in the USA as well. As they say, history repeats itself...

It's their country, they have every right to their own say.

Don't think I've seen a single leave voter whose said "I'm doing this for my family, it'll benefit them" 99% of them are "immigrants, immigrants, immigrants"

My point doesn't matter. I'm low income and uneducated. I couldn't compete with your corporate brain.

[Raph]

Yeah to me age isn't the issue and every voice should be representative but the issue with democracy is that it can actually encourage ignorance. Like in this instance, leaving the EU was just used as a portrait by which the government fooled a lot of uneducated people into thinking the EU caused the issues in the UK when really it was the huge multinational companies that have created such a divided economy.

Not to mention the fact that MOST people are going to be butt****ed by this, whether they realise it yet or not. Those who do realise it are perfectly justified in feeling angry or despairing over it. The "sour grapes", "sore losers" rhetoric is so badly misplaced that it's not even funny. This isn't a vote for the X Factor winner. This is something that will personally impact on every single person's life in a very real way.

"Sour grapes lol lol we won we won" type statements just make me even more horrified at the state of democracy. What a joke.

Well said!

In each individual person's life and choices, of course theirs and their loved ones situations are the ones that mattered. That wasn't the point.

The point was Mock using his and only his situation to suggest a whole group of people in our society shouldn't be permitted to vote based on THEIR situation/opinion.

I doubt it will stop immigration anyway, so if people are expecting to magically stop immigrants from coming over here, I think they'll be disappointed.

I explained on the other EU referedum thread why I support leaving the EU.
