Originally posted by chopper View PostThey probably rocked up at the polling station with their own pen, I imagine.
However, most importantly they voted. The youths, the 18-24 brigade, decided staying at home and moaning about the result later in true snowflake style was the better democratic mechanism. At least moaning can be done from the comfort of their home whilst glued to Twitter/Facebook/whatever.
I believe turnout of 18-24 year olds was 64%, with turnout of over 65s being 90%.

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostCorruption was not the criticism. The UK political system is fixed in favour of the ruling class, who control the mainstream media etc. etc.
If you think the British electorate has an honest opportunity to control matters such as employment rights, then you're living in cloud cuckoo landComment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostIf you think the electorates of the EU member states have an honest opportunity to control anything related to the EU institutions, then you're living in cloud cuckoo land. If we can't control our own politicians, how do we hope to exert control via the European Parliament and other institutions? D'Hondt PR to the rescue!Comment

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostI don't think we can control either. So it's really a choice between the values of the EU and the values of the UK ruling class, with the uncertain economic impact of leaving the EU added into the mix. Everyone can take their pick, but pretending it is anything else is ridiculous.Comment
