I'm sure every one has been having an interesting time exploring the rifts in their own family that this has highlighted. The age thing is a case in point.
My son in law was born to two immigrant parents and so feels especially sore about this and naturally thinks that the older generation are against him and that they were 'duped' by lies and untruths. But then he had no idea about the fact that the UK population were duped 41 years ago when we voted to join the EEC, a financial union, not a political one, and the fact that this morphed into its true self of the political EU at the Maastrict Treaty. In many ways the Referendum is 24 years overdue....we should have been asked before we signed Maastrict.
Perspective is an important facet of this. Thats only something the older voters can be expected to have.
