How do you decide which were the 2% that tipped the scale? Could have been the 18-22 years old too, no? Could have been any cohort, it’s a mathematical fallacy to pretend otherwise I feel.
Well, yes. But then again the 'Take Back Control' campaign had those UKIP buses saying "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead". An average person is a bit too removed from the GDP/investments conversations anyway.
And their representatives didn't want to leave so decided to drag their feez and do a shit job of it anyway.
I didn't vote either way but I expect those paid to represent us to actually do it.
Some did. Economic Euroscepticism is far older than the EU. The idea that the UK can return to the productivity of the Victorian industrial era, with WW2 bravado.
Of course it's tosh, and it unravels as soon as the first horse spooks, but in the run up to the referendum people were making all sorts of stupid claims about what we'd be able to have. Remember Soft Brexit? The idea that the EU would give us favourable terms when we were in no position to negotiate? Absolute madness.
