The young may not be interested in politics, by this is bigger than a General Election. Brexit will irreversibly threaten their future job prospects an prosperity. As opposed to the older generation who already have the wealth.
Don't know where you get this older generation having the wealth. The result of the referendum will effect everyone from birth to death no matter what age they are. The younger generation are more likely to vote remain and the older generation leave Take note of the latter. We voted in the last referendum and have had 43 years experience. We know why we voted against in 1975 and as far as we are concerned nothing has changed to make us regret that vote. In fact, things have gone further than we thought they would. It was a Common Market then and that's what the people voted for - they did NOT vote for a Political Organisation hell-bent on building a United States of Europe though some of us who voted NO knew that's where it would head. Never did we dream of any stupid laws or stupid Political Correctness legislation.

The Common Market was for trade only and we were doing that anyway so why change it? What we lost was the trade with Argentina, New Zealand and other Countries outside the trading bloc. Prices shot up rapidly but wages did not and it led to the troubles and strikes in the 70s.

Joining the Common Market also meant Decimalisation - a con of the first degree. Prices on some items went up 140%. Things that cost a penny in old money became a penny in new money. Since then nothing has changed. Prices rise, wages don't.

Vote Leave and take back control of that. Take back control of making our own laws - stupid laws if we want them but they would be ours, not the EU ones. Take back control of Jobs, Training and our economy. Take back control of immigration. Take back control of what's good for the UK, not the EU. Above all take back control of our Sovereignty or we'll end up part of a USE. Some say Sovereignty is not important but without it the EU can and will do what they like to the UK.
