Don't you think you will think that way when you mature?

No, you confirm my argument nicely, and it is a human argument rather than a strictly political one. Shame you are on the other side of my argument, though!
Seriously, I do understand your point, which I think concentrated on the opportunities youngsters have at that age. My decision was based more on the economy, and ensuring that my kids and theirs as they get older are able to share in the wealth that a healthy and vibrant economy can bring.

My main reason for voting the way I did was the economy too, working g for a company that trades internationally distils down just how simple trade is in the EU. Through working various places, I would consider some Germans (especially) Belgians and Swedes amongst my best friends. The kid thing was second but still very important.
If you put the economy in there and then go back to Norman Tebbits ‘get on your bike and find work’ speech, then the distance we can cycle has become significantly less.
