Some of them probably committed suicide when they read the Remnants' posts on here.

I'm surprised these concocted/conjectured figures show such a slim "majority" for remain.
Let the self-centred old feckers stew for a bit longer, see their triple lock, free bus pass and winter fuel allowance shrink or disappear, and they'll be going down like flies when Brexit actually happens.

To all those asking "so what?" The point is support for brexit is decreasing and will likely continue to do so. If in a years time support has fallen to say 40%, but A50 has already been triggered, it is going to create even more political turmoil than we have now, potentially even stopping brexit. (queue plenty of "get over it"s in response) We are in for a rough few years and no mistake.

Most who voted Remain have accepted the result and are not trying to overturn it. How many times does this have to be said?

Pretty much all. Very few young, healthy and mentally sound people voted for brexit.
If you did you voted for having the referendum and for adhering to the result. So were willing to have the UK leave the EU. |

Certainly not UKIP or the Tories if the whole thing goes down the pan.
I want the same thing you do (so-called hard Brexit), but for different reasons. I want to give the Leavers enough fuel to slam themselves into the wall. At which point the backlash will be very hard indeed. |

The independent has lost all sense of reason over the EU vote, they have no integrity left at all.
Their absurd article makes ridiculous assumptions, the reality is they have no idea who voted which way and how people would vote in a new referendum. Maybe everyone who voted for brexit should wear some sort of badge to indentify themselves - a yellow star would seem to be the most appropriate. |

No, because Leavers tend to be older than Remainers. I think that was the point of the thread.

fag packet maths
ONS weekly death statistics appears to run at about 10,000 per week for over 65's for the first six weeks, so i'll just use that, we're only looking at the 6 months since the vote which gives us 260,000 and 25% of over 65s dont vote in general elections so lets use that too, which gives us 195,000. The breakdown of the vote for over 65s was roughly 40%/60% remain/leave. So we have a total of 78,000 remain voters and 117,000 leave voters dead. Is it a normal thing after losing a vote to be so frustrated that you want to know exactly how many of the people voted for the result have died? |

There's a quote oft used by politicians and statesmen going back centuries that goes something like: If you're not a liberal [for which read left leaning] when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.
(The ages and political parties change according to the time it was said in. I believe the above is attributed to Churchill, although there's no evidence he actually said it.) |

Turn-out was lowest amongst the younger voters, showing that a great deal of young people didn't care either way.

So we have a total of 78,000 remain voters and 117,000 leave voters dead. ... And obviously add in the 'ha ha old people died' thing we do get to the question of how we balance out who is more deserving of a place in civilised society. |

The trouble is the younger voters know nothing different than being in the EU so they probably want the status quo. Older voters have seen the changes that have happened over the years and don't like what they see. Its not what we signed up for.
Since some of the Re-On-and On-and On - and On Moaners think old people shouldn't be allowed to vote, lets also say you have to have at least 10 years adult life within the EU. Now this leaves it to the top end of Generation X and the younger and mid-age Boomers... who happen to be overwhemingly in favour of Brexit and hugely outnumber Generation Crying. |

There is no doubt support for brexit is dying every minute of every day. The young and healthy didn't want brexit, and they should not have to suffer the consequences when those who supported it are already dying off.
