Disingenuous to suggest all young people would vote Remain - they would not - not that it matters - we had a vote in 2016, I missed out voting in the first referendum back in the 70's - you cannot factor age when people were ineligible because they were too young to vote - do we keep having votes every time people become of age to vote, such a factor is nonsensical??

I know many young people who would have voted to leave the corrupted EU.

Especially when they realise that youth unemployment is absolutely dire in other EU Member States, above 40% in some quarters and the corrupted EU isn't doing a damn thing about it.

So this age factor you speak of is irrelevant, as I and many others got to miss out on the referendum to join the Economic Bloc, as it was known back in the 70's. I missed out on voting for specific parties back in the 80's. That's life.
