By the time we got around to implementing it enough old people had died off that the vote would have gone the other way already.
The 18 year olds who vote less but vote for good parties are doing good, overall. The 60 year olds voting Tory their whole lives - not so much.
It's very easy to blame the young for all the problems earlier generations created and exacerbated. Not too wise though.
Also, we should not forget that the main argument for leaving was to stop migrants from infesting the place even more, but it has been pretty clear that this is going to happen with or without the EU. Might as well take the money then.
The UK just keeps kicking young people down. The boomers voting against our interests are whipping us into working to pay for their triple locked pensions.
The ballot paper arrived the day before the vote.
It was impossible to return it in time, and indeed, when I checked, my vote had arrived too late and was not counted.
Also young people always blame last gen for whatever, so expects -8 ~ 0 years old would vote for exit again…
FWIW I think Brexit was dumb but I never felt strongly about any of it because it doesn't effect me in any way. I'm not saying their views on Brexit specifically are likely to change.
