      Glad someone else pointed this out.
      It’s disingenuous of the article to suggest opinions have changed, I dont think they have.
      The demograpgic of those aroynd to comment today is different. There was low turnout amongst younger voters while the older population both turned out and voted leave. We now have 10 years of older voters, ~60% of whom wanted to leave. And we have 10 years of new voters who werent given a say, but extrapolating the data should be about 80% in favour of EU membership.

      The baby boomers have expoited disproportionate volume representation their entire lives. As that volume bubble dies off, i hope we will coninue to see better social and environmental responsibility, alongside progressive, collaborative, and inclusive longer term thinking.
