re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

The decision over whether the UK remains inside the European Union could depend on whether young people shake off their apathy and vote in sufficient numbers on 23 June, a revealing opinion poll conducted for the Observer shows.

As you can see a large majority of people aged over 55 would vote to leave the EU. Does this not stick out like a sore thumb to those who want to remain that those of us who voted against in 1975 were right to do so? Just because we are getting older doesn't mean we're senile and don't know what we're doing. Remember we were young then and had the sense to see what was ahead. I just love saying to those who voted to remain in 1975 "I told you so." We could see where things would lead and we were right. Brussels Ruling Europe Politically and Germany ruling Financially were just two of the reasons we sited for leaving then and they have practically came to pass.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee those who think we should remain. And to all of those undecided, listen to your elders. It's no mistake that a vast majority of over 55s are against remaining in the EU.
And yet a majority of those aged 55+ voted Tory in the 2015 UK General Election - should people listen to their elders on that matter?
