Is it ? Hit the nerve have I ?
Depends how you define prosperous. I know a few people who I would consider prosperous who voted for Brexit. Many of the older generation.Is it ? Hit the nerve have I ?
Link to these stats?Is it ? Hit the nerve have I ?
Look it up, the regions that voted brexit are poorer. The wealthier areas voted remain.
The stats dont go into individual wealth, but the areas prosperity. Even with all this euro money spent on gentrification, it still didnt help their prosperity. So a leave vote was always going to happen for the poorer areas.
Over 45s, and especially over 65s, voted out, and under 45s, particularly those aged 18-24, voted to stay. That was the most easily identifiable and important split of all.
Which would suggest Nelson or HeathBlue as he used to be known isn't too far wrong.
I,m very rarely wrong
I,m was a non voter who just happens to believe that the vote should now be carried, not really sure why but I have enjoyed watching the remain camp crying I find it entertaining and they can stick their marmite where the sun dun shine.
Same logic applies to everyone who was up in arms when the Tories won the last election.I,m very rarely wrong

The problem as I see it is threefold:
1. It was a very close vote so either way, half the country is going to be disappointed in a result that can and will have a very real impact on their lives
2. There was so much mis-information, and a general lack of comprehension among the population about the impacts that, imho, the vast majority of the country (both sides) didn't really understand what they were voting for.
3. The largest group of brexiters, are the ones least likely to be affected by the long-term impact.
That was poll data. There is no certain way to know how people of certain age ranges voted. The age range data is taken from a poll, so although likely representative, polls on such subjects have proven flawed. Young people are less likely to admit to voting tory for example, and the same is seen as being the case for a vote leave. So the % of under 45s that voted could well be quite a bit higher.
Yes, you are correct. I was taking those findings from poll data. I should have qualified my remarks to reflect your comments.
But still more likely that the under 45s voted to remain in general. If that wasn't the case, then either the over 45s didn't vote to leave overall or did by a couple of percentage points overall, which doesn't seem likely.
I believe the 16-18 age group should have been allowed to vote. After all it's the young people of today who will have to put up with the consequences a decision forced on them by a group of people still harboring grudges against Johnny Foreigner.
I doubt it's that simple.Is it ? Hit the nerve have I ?
If you follow the idea that Labour voters are more likely to be worse off than Tory voters, we know that Labour voters voted more likely to remain.
Suppose that you are right. It makes little sense for the worst off to vote for something that was, and is, likely to hit their pockets for a number of years afterwards, though maybe that lack of sense explains something.
