re: #762 HappyWarrior
I hadn’t. 36%? WTF. No longer my demo anymore but goddamn it kids. But yeah that gets at another thought.
Final #BrexitVote turnout breakdown, via @SkyNews:
18-24: 36%
25-34: 58%
35-44: 72%
45-54: 75%
55-64: 81%
65+: 83%
Adding how they voted probably gives a clearer pic of what went wrong.
The older the voters, the more likely they were to have voted to leave the EU. Nearly three quarters (73%) of 18 to 24 year-olds voted to remain, falling to under two thirds (62%) among 35-44s. A majority of those aged over 45 voted to leave, rising to 60% of those aged 65 or over.
