      When cats do that it’s because they expected you to follow them outside. They just wanted to roam around with their bud.

      Glad someone else pointed this out.
      It’s disingenuous of the article to suggest opinions have changed, I dont think they have.
      The demograpgic of those aroynd to comment today is different. There was low turnout amongst younger voters while the older population both turned out and voted leave. We now have 10 years of older voters, ~60% of whom wanted to leave. And we have 10 years of new voters who werent given a say, but extrapolating the data should be about 80% in favour of EU membership.

      The baby boomers have expoited disproportionate volume representation their entire lives. As that volume bubble dies off, i hope we will coninue to see better social and environmental responsibility, alongside progressive, collaborative, and inclusive longer term thinking.

    Nice assertion. Too bad there isn’t a single fucking number or specific statistic in the entire article to back it up. Terrible journalism.

    Majority doesn’t matter. It’s flip flopping around 50% and they will vote Brexit again at the next opportunity.

    Take them in when 66% or better 75% want to join again.

    My biggest issue with the vote was that Brexit didn’t win.

    48% votes to remain and 52% percent votes for 6 different and often mutually exclusive relationships. Which was proven as soon as negotiations began and why there should have been a vote on the final deal which would have certainly failed. But instead people voting for a Norway model or a Swiss model all got counted alongside the lunatics that would have physically dragged the UK further into the Atlantic to get away from Europe given the chance.

    It wasn’t 48% Vs 52%, it was 48% vs 8% and 8% and 8% …

    Feelings against brexit was always a thing, getting off their arse and actually voting against it was the problem.
