They sang us auld lang syne in the EU parliament meanwhile we're singing them "17 million fuck offs" I kind of hope they do get that song to number one. Spiteful as it is. I'm resigned to it.

Look up Huawei for details ![]() This age demography thing is such a silly argument. If that's the case, any election should be held only for the millennials because what a political party does in a five year period will have a long term effect. And why not let the kids in the school also to vote? They are also the ones who will be affected long term. Every age demography is important. People who are over 65 had children and grandchildren and they have seen more in their lives than the one in twenties. So they will have more knowledge about certain things. The votes of people in twenties also matter because they think about modern ideologies and future. Both votes are important for to take any decision. It's appalling that liberals have to stoop so low to deny voting rights for the old people to get what they want. And then they are the defenders of democracy apparently. | |||

Still someone who is 65 years old could live for 15 years more which is a reasonable lifetime in the country and they have the right to choose. Even if you are 25 years old, there is no guarantee that you are going to live in the country forever. Should we also deny voting rights for people living abroad because they are not living in this country to face the effects of their decision? Maybe the remainers should look at the mirror and figure out what they really did wrong. Instead, all I see is everyone trying to find laughable excuses. "Age demography", "people are racists", "people are stupid", "right wing media", "second referendum". With this kind of attitude, I am pretty sure that the conservatives are going to have an easy win for decades. | |||

Against a labour party massively disjointed with an unelectable leader - yep. But don't forget that now Boris has 'got brexit done' (even if not in reality til the end of 2020 and way beyond) that the buck now stops firmly with the Tories. There'll be no means to blame remainers or Labour if things don't turn out as leavers wanted. There'll be no accountability for any job losses, economic damage or unkept leave promises bar with the government. If all goes to shit then a lot of people will be very unhappy and looking to blame someone. And that won't be the EU, the Labour party or anyone that voted remain. With the majority he has and carte blanche to do as he pleases it'll all land firmly on Johnson's doorstep. And rightly so. So lets see what happens over the next 12 months. ![]() | |||

That is the thickest comment on here by far and that is some achievement.Old people like us have children and we also have several grandchildren. Do you think we voted to Leave so we would be personally better off ? How thick is that as we will be dead in a few years. We voted because we believe (rightly or wrongly,time will tell) that it is better for our country and therefore for our children and our grandchildren to be a sovereign and independent country in control of of our own destiny. Whatever your logic may be, and I do not doubt that you are sincere in your beliefs, significantly more older people wanted Brexit than younger people. 65+ 64% Leave 60-64 60% Leave 25-49 46% Leave 18-24 29% Leave However, older people will not see as much of the effect of Brexit as younger ones as they simply will not be here. That is not controversial surely? How you define "control" relative to the demands of the USA, China and the EU is very much up for debate. Look up Huawei for details ![]() ![]() ![]() Should the older generation be able to vote lets say the over 67 cos the future is with the younger ones. I would even say lower the voting age. | |||

" The majority of older people voted for Brexit, the majority of younger people voted to remain, these are facts . Of course the older generation has a right to vote and I am sure they can justify their reasons for voting to leave . Personally I hope Brexit is a success even though I voted to remain, either way the comedy value from the likes of Farage and their ‘celebration ‘ last night is priceless , some of the interviews with the people there are comedy gold ![]() That's a good way to look at it. I personally think Brexit could be bad for UK and if given a chance, I would have voted remain. But the truth is no one has enough data or skill to predict the future. People on either side of the line can only make guesses. No one knows for sure. Right now, all we can hope for is that it turns out good for the UK. Whenever a party loses the elections, both the party and supporters take the blame, gather some feedback on how they can do better and act on it. The conservative parties all around the world, even with their questionable ideologies have done this for many years and have started winning elections. For left wing parties to win elections, they need to learn from it. But what do I see? Blame game within leaders. Calling people stupid and racist because they voted for the other party. Keeping themselves at a high pedestal of morality and intelligence while acting condescendingly to others. They should stop doing all this nonsense and start listening to problems of people who voted against them. It's funny when I see lines like "if you are a brexiter or a tory or trump supporter, don't talk to me" in social media. This is the kind of behaviour you expect from conservative people historically. But the opposite is happening these days. If this is going to continue, I don't see the political tide changing soon. | |||

"Why o why do those who wanted to leave or remain have to keep belittling the those who voted the other way? We all know that the polls show a pretty even split of opinion. There's no right or wrong and it's daft to say the British people decided emphatically either way. A poll on one day decided 'in or out' on a simple majority. It's how the poll was designed ... and that's how democracy works. So we're now out. At a later date we may decide to seek a return to the EU. But that's not now. Now we have to negotiate trade deals as best we can with at least three major trading blocks/countries that dwarf our economy. We'll just have to see how that works out. In the meantime, let's respect different views and move on from the playground politics of the last few years. " you've made a very important point. In out referendum with simple majority. The month before or the month after it may have swung the other way. Whilst the referendum may have been a democratic process, it really isn't suitable for something so complex with potentially a devastating impact for our economy. Farage made a point before the referendum when he said that in a 52:48 remain victory there would be unfinished business. He was right. 48% of people voting Leave would have been a significant number. Over time that figure may have shifted either way. Revisiting the referendum 5 years later may have been wise idea especially if the polls were indicating a shift in opinion. What's happening now is that the decision on June 2016 is final and the 48% are told to shut up and, going by last night celebrations, some Brexiters feel we should be jailed! | |||

Maybe the remainers could have done something different to sway more votes in their favour. | |||

It's pretty clear from the result and that of the many elections we have had in recent years that at present our country has moved further to the right and become more nationlist. There's still a lot of us on the left/internationalist side, especially in my age group but for now we're in the minority and I don't think there's a great deal we can do about that until something causes a dramatic shift in political tides. No idea what could cause that personally. | |||
