I can't say if it will be good or bad but I do know the older generation mostly wanted it while the younger one mostly didn't. I think it was unfair to spring the issue at such an opportune moment as the young generation will be the one running the country and a few years later the vote would have swung in the other direction.

@MeisterAndrew My understanding is that analysis of voting in the referendum suggests that generational differences were much less than originally thought. Certainly there is no shortage of Remainers of pension age where I live!

@MeisterAndrew Yes that's true, and the vote wouldn't have turned out the way it did if the younger generations had decided to vote - most have said they didn't bother because they didn't think the leave vote would generate much support at all. It is ridiculous - the vote was really about the prejudices many of the older generation still hold.
