Re: Brexit Vote Analysis
I imagine a lot of 30-35's voted to remain. Mainly because after listening to a discussion it was mentioned that since about 2003/4 university education has been taught on the whole concept of globalisation. Which doesn't surprise me. No doubt something else introduced by the EU .' Brain Washing ' springs to mind ,when thinking about it, no wonder Tony Blair wanted everyone to go to University !

Re: Brexit Vote Analysis
Surprise surprise - those who have lost most/gained least from EU membership - the poor and ill-educated - voted to leave. Just because you are poor and poorly educated doesn't mean you are thick. In fact, it was an extremely sensible decision by the majority of those who voted.

So the would be 'remainers', still don't know what they might have missed out on because they were never told .
I have asked remainers for examples of advantages of remaining in the EU, and have yet to hear any.
The only responses have been wishy washy ramblings which inevitably turn to the negatives of leaving.
My conclusion is that there are no benefits to the country as a whole of remaining in the EU, and I have yet to be proved wrong.

Just because you're intelligent, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have any common sense
In fact, if you are younger and have spent most of your life in school & university you will be less likely to see or experience the problems that people have in the wider world
I have seen papers written by these so-called graduates with the most ridiculously simple spelling and grammatical mistakes. They seem to know everything about left wing politics but nothing about the basics of English.
If that's called 'education' then I suggest it should be renamed 'brainwashing'.

Re: Brexit Vote Analysis
The bbc has published a detailed sociological study of the referendum voting patterns and has correlated it with the demographic characteristics of the electoral wards. Put very bluntly the leavers tended to be older, whiter and thicker ! tee hee.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38762034

Re: Brexit Vote Analysis
My understanding of the term redneck is it is a description of the working class white poor in the southern part of the US. How strange that you use the term to as a derogatory way describe the people you claim to sympathise with and support. Just because they voted for something you don't approve of.|
