The vote was not that far from 50:50, both countrywide and in the various areas/towns/cities. People are reacting as though it were 80:20. Few older people I know voted Leave. Some of our grandchildren are passionate about politics, not all of them highly educated. A young woman with a chaotic, neglected background has been firstly telling her work colleagues that they should have used their vote and, secondly, putting forward a good case for Remain. Also she pointed out their racist attitude to some 'mature' colleagues.
What a mess, lies and leadership manoeuvring by our elected representatives!
