Better to talk to them and both parties gain an understanding of things then mock and derision.

I think we the public have been tearing into each other enough for a while we need to start rebuilding bridges and repairing our society and country until we have a way forward.
The difference is that older voters have known the EU from its inception and have seen it change over time and not in a direction they want to follow. Older voters take a more measured view.

Younger voters have only seen it and known it as it is now probably for all their lives. They did not see it as it used to be i.e just a trading area. They see the benefits for travel, low roaming charges etc. and are not really into the political dimension or the consequences of activity in this area. They see leaving the EU as losing the benefits.
