Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....
agree. I will still be voting out. My mother-in-law at 82 is going to vote for the first time in her life in the referendum. She is voting out. The rest of the family are also voting out although my son who is doing a post grad degree in Global Politics is becoming tempted to vote in after bein determined to vote out.
Spoke to a group of 18 to 23 year olds Thursday after the elections and not one of them voted because in their words either they couldn't be arsed or they didn't understand what voting for any particular candidate would mean for them.
This is the age group that is supposedly strongest in favour of remaining but in reality are the less likely to turn up and vote.
When i was 18 i wasn't to aware about politics, i just voted the
way my parents/grandparents voted, thankfully I learnt over the years,
and how those who were supposed to be there to represent you are
quite the opposite and are there in most cases for their own benefits
or ideology/projects...
