@thomasfuchs They left.

[thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io]

@Basmitharts they’re Remains now

[basmitharts@weird.autos]

@thomasfuchs lol

[jamesholden@mas.to]

@thomasfuchs Quite a lot of them also said batshit stuff like “I’m voting leave for my grandchildren”. Thanks, gramps.

[ttimo@mastodon.social]

@thomasfuchs a lot to unpack in this one

[grumpydad@infosec.exchange]

@thomasfuchs You can only just see what the young voters want...

[bredroll@mas.to]

@thomasfuchs the better view would be to exclude too young and died.

[evilpie@hachyderm.io]

@thomasfuchs Older people fucking over the young. As always.

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@thomasfuchs where's the "voted leave but then retired to southern Europe anyway" line...

@thomasfuchs So basically, some people have died in the last 10 years?

[smn@l3ib.org]

@thomasfuchs would have loved some numbers on the y axis here but yeah still thought provoking

[alsy@theforkiverse.com]

@thomasfuchs Hard not to wonder whether elections, referenda should have an age cutoff (obviously this is not something that would ever fly, but it’s an interesting thought experiment).

[zeri@chaos.social]

@Basmitharts @thomasfuchs careful there young man don't start a global pundemic!

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

I wonder what was the logic of the ~5% of people that voted Remain but then moved to Stay Out

[orrickle@sfba.social]

@thomasfuchs Almost the same number as too young to vote now old enough.

[jugglingwitheggs@mstdn.social]

@csolisr

Maybe it’s just every PM we’ve had since 2016 (with exception of Johnson and Truss)…

[jugglingwitheggs@mstdn.social]

@pulpnash @thomasfuchs

I remember at the time people predicting that a decade on the balance would be tipped by the number of Leave voters dying combined with those too young to have voted wishing we had Remained. We knew we would reach this point - we now have to demand that public opinion is respected with a new referendum.

[jugglingwitheggs@mstdn.social]

@thomasfuchs

A referendum is an advisory snapshot on one day. To think there is any permanence to it is ridiculous…people change their minds (we’re allowed to change our minds at every general and local election) and people die and people come of age.

@thomasfuchs All I can think of is that here is an thin, invisible, sad line from "to young to vote" to "died".
