Your kids may

Currently my kids and everyone I speak to below the age of 25 blooming hates you and others like you

So maybe they will change their view. Or maybe the EU is right and they will take us back in when they realize the cost/benefit balance and when they have the power back from the generation that 'knew better than them'.

40 years in the EU was a long timr also! I didn't hear Heseltine asking for a democratic vote about staying or leaving during that time. All to convenient and you lot are so transparent

This is a powerful point.

Of those that push for a second vote.....I imagine few if any of them argued that it was democratic to hold the original referendum.....when it was obvious that a large part of the country was unhappy with the EU.

So when they make the argument now for 'sentiment' in the country....well...there is a giant hole in their arguments that they can't fill.

They don't really care about fairness....only about winning.

It’s not at all powerful - it’s a point which I must have read 20 times in this thread alone.

Following that, you’ve made up a position, pointed out a hole in said made-up position, an then concluded with a sentence that could be applied to the vast majority of the electorate when it comes to Brexit.

I am afraid they do Stirling. As you know, the young tend to be quite holier than thou. They feel deeply let down

Tux is also right, this generation will never forgive the over 65 generation for many things. Their view is that their future was stolen by those who decided to feather their nests at the expense of future generations. DB pensions, control over housing and ridiculous levels of debt being the clearest examples. It seems we are all stuck with being poorer than previous generations and that will get worse as a result of Brexit. Still, maybe it will get better in 20 years' time eh! Meanwhile lets all watch the oldies going on their world cruises.
