A Very Gloomy Predication, I Hope He Is Wrong

In 10 years time the youngsters will thank the Wrinklies for extracting them from the protectionist, anti-democratic sclerotic organisation that is the EU. In 15 years time they will wonder what all the fuss was about. By the time they are Wrinklies themselves they will say "Oh yes, I remember the EU. Wasn't the UK a member at some point? I wonder what happened to it?"

Like almost all the guff about Brexit, this doesn't mean anything in fact.
Yes demographics are changing - and the earth is still orbiting the sun, but it may not always do so.
The simple fact is, society evolves as people die, and new generations with new thoughts arrive, and their views are the norm for them.
Do we think twice about the fact that slavery is abolished, we don't hang children for stealing bread, we don't have children dying in mill machinery or climbing up chimneys? No - because these are norms to us.
In the future, a society that may think re-joining the EU is a good idea may be the norm, or we might all be living on Mars so it won't matter anyway.
It's all speculation, it's free, anyone can do it, and you don't need real evidence because it's made up, and no-one knows what's going to happen, so media types get paid to guess and ponder - to no end whatsoever because we don't know the future.
Is it a gloomy predication - no, it's another meaningless puff piece that gets a journalist's face on social media - something else our ancestors didn't have to think about!

I didnt listen too closely - as soon the essex accent locked in with phrases "aud mam always used to sigh...."
1) people die - fact of life (ha!) in the proportion of voting 48-52
2) new joiners ) voters join in the proportion 48-52
ergo the make up stays at 48 -52
if more Brexiters are in (1) and more remainers are in (2) then there should be a cross over point ....
BUT.. it violates an observed thingey called "regression towards the mean" - and that is the thing that screwed the eugenics argument - that if you kill / sterilise all the stupid kids ( or brexiters ) then only bright kids ( remainers ) will be born and so the population will get brighter. erm dont lets try it - its been tried and doesnt work.
It wasnt the content of the argument that put me off but the presentation - 'me aud mam - her indoors - she used to sigh: " foo dat dennis" and I, Dennis dat me - I used to go and foo dat like a good 'un"
complete turn off for something serious
Hey ! dja fink... sorry do you think that if we caught a few Brexiters and released them on the moors and then beat them out of the heather where they were hiding - there would be a market and we could sell tickets for people to shoot them ? Shotguns provided
quite a fort - dat !
erm am I taking this too seriously ?
