Nobody has any clue what ages voted for stay/remain because THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXIT POLLS. For all you know the younger generations voted en masse to leave

There is nothing that says it is going to be Temporary.

In the short term, stagflation is going to hit the UK. Lower growth with higher inflation. Saying it is temporary is banking on the rest of the world recovering faster. What the UK only hurts the global economy.

you are right, this was a poll done a week ago. Still it shows a pretty sharp contrast.

Is there an exit poll showing why people voted to leave? My guess is it may have more to do with Muslim immigration than trade.
Lots of reasons and background to it all - some reasons here if you are interested

Spoken like a spoiled child. You didn't get your way so you're screwed? I doubt you'd be saying the older generation was screwed if the vote went the other way.

How a Brexit vote could be vote for Trump

Brexit and Donald Trump have a lot in common in their appeal to voters who don't like the way things are going and view Brussels and Washington as inept.

How a Brexit vote could be vote for Trump
Nexit needs to be next as well as Deutchexit, Francexit, etc.

Trump has proved you wrong yet again.

Default Trump is on "the right side of history" as Ofoolo likes to put it

This is all about people rejecting the chains of tyranny.
