They are probably less inclined to risk adding more uncertainty than those older voters.
I listed my pros and cons of leaving the EU the other day. And as I said, there are genuine concerns of leaving the EU, not less a global meltdown which I think will happen upon Brexit.

I suppose if I were 20 years younger I would I be thinking more short term too.

If you're young and there is a possibility of another severe recession lasting several years, that's a long time to a young person. They don't have the depth of experience and years to see beyond.
