EU referendum and older voters

Ask her at what age people should stop taking part in any decisions, and just sit around and let all those wonderful young people decide everything. We could start with our wills, surely it would best if we just haned over a blank sheet of paper with a signature at the foot of it?

Then there's the living will, too. We could sign a blank sheet there too, and they could fill in the rest - "I don't want to be resuscitated if my children think it is time they sold my house and used the proceeds to buy themselves new cars and a world cruise"

Could anyone suggest any other things that could be decided for us after we reach a certain birthday? I am sure we can all think of a few.

My retort would be: "Stop being ageist".

She is entitled to that point of view, just as are all of us. She is obviously of the opinion that the consequences of leaving will be disastrous, pure speculation. It's a shame your discussion got heated, but if my DS had made that remark to me I think my response would have been sharp too!

My grandchildren aren't old enough to make such a decision, they know nothing about politics at 9.

I agree we should listen to our children and grandchildren but we have just as much right to vote as they do.

Our family is split as well but funnily enough the two DGCs who will be old enough to vote are thinking of voting OUT.

DD1 is undecided like me. DS will vote OUT and DD2 and DSiL will vote IN.

I think we need to listen to our grandchildren, it's their future we are deciding not ours
