The younger, "educated" folk decided not to vote in the UK's single most important constitutional decision since WW2. And 7% of the 'Remain' voters also voted for UKIP in the general election.

So much for youth, education and statistics.

WW2 was a constitutional decision? 😵

Remain was over confident and a bit arrogant that's for sure. Let's see what happeneds

7% of remain voted for UKIP. (A wonderful statistic in itself)
Huge segments of the remain demographic didn't bother to vote and then bitterly complained about the result.
Remain then like pulling up statitics about education levels.
It's hilarious.

Yes, let's watch while the howling continues for decades at every negative statistic, every economic turn, every social injustice. The bleating millennial hearts.

you wrote your PhD on that subject.

It seems the polls indicate something quite in line with what we're reading
here.

P.S. And thanks for releasing yet another piece of private information. I
wonder ...[text shortened]... to you? Oh, yes,
and it is "Finn". But the polls already hinted at us some stuff about you.

I see your intellectual capacity prevents you from actually discussing
this at a serious, deep level. What's new?

I've made several posts which could, to some extent at least, be considered "serious" and/or "deep". Just not to you, poomeister.

So presumably the majority of the country wanted to REMAIN.

I guess we will never know; but that is the Remain group's claim.

I spoke to many Remainers in person (not chit chat on the web) and asked them why they wanted to Remain; every single one was for reasons such as: "my daughter wants to study abroad", "I'm worried about mobile roaming charges when I'm on holiday", "will I be able to continue to go on holiday" "my son is studying in Spain" etc etc. I'm not saying that there are not remainers who are politically and constitutionally minded, I'm just pointing out that my perspective was that a large amount of them are very tactical in their thinking and clearly were not considering the deeper issues at stake.

When I was the Romanian mafia's point man in London, smuggling indentured Czech and Slovak landscape gardeners into the UK and moving them out to provincial towns like Swindon and Doncaster, the muscle and drivers (and caterers) I had at my disposal were split down the middle, remain v leave. All of them had personal motivations and seemed oblivious to the possible repercussions for landscape gardening (and gardening more generally).

Intellectual lack of depth noted. Carry on.

I honestly thought you were American 🙄

Take it as a compliment that your English is completely flawless. Finnish is such a hard language. I would actually rather learn Japanese.

If you didn't vote, you can't complain about the result.

Whoa, dude, chill. Why get defensive? It's just what the numbers say:
Leave voters are more likely to be unschooled people who are closer to death.

I'd rather hear your best guess as to why that is.

Probably because " the older people closer to death " have more common sense than the younger ones .
Who are the "unschooled" ?
Enlighten me .
