Amazing graph

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

@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).

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

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.

@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.

@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".

@Alsy @thomasfuchs said for a long time that your vote should be worth less as you age.

@csolisr

Maybe some of them just don't want big changes. They're happy enough in, and happy enough out.

Maybe some of them would still like to be in the EU, but are afraid of having 15 rounds of negotiation handled by 6 different PM again.

@thomasfuchs Sankey graphs are beautiful and useful things!

@thomasfuchs skanky diagram

[missqarnstein@eldritch.cafe]

@csolisr maybe they're bitter now and want to see the UK burn?

[missqarnstein@eldritch.cafe]

@ret @Alsy @thomasfuchs i think this should depend on when the policy effect most kicks in but by that logic nobody should get a vote what to do about climate change for example. It's just to messy to weaken the 1 person 1 vote idea.

[missqarnstein@eldritch.cafe]

@Bredroll @thomasfuchs isn't that the whole point of this Graph? Wdym?

[bredroll@mas.to]

@missqarnstein @thomasfuchs i mean that the bottom of blocks on the rhs should be aligned with the same on the left, to show relative sizes better
