Anti-Brexit sentiment currently holds a significant lead in the polls. According to research, this isn't due entirely to people changing their minds. 'Voter replacement' plays a significant part. Brexit supporters tended to be older. They are simply dying out and they're not being replaced. This research estimates that 35% of the shift against Brexit is attributable to voter replacement. ukandeu.ac.uk/will-support-for-brexit-become-extinct/ |

COVID must have been a welcome arrival. Not in the least. Brexit is a trivial matter compared to human life. That said, biological realities can't be denied. |

This research estimates that 35% of the shift against Brexit is attributable to voter replacement. ukandeu.ac.uk/will-support-for-brexit-become-extinct/Interesting read but doesn't consider two points: A) that those who wanted Leave were far more likely to have it as their #1 concern so in any future elections will continue to vote for parties that align with staying out. Remain voters were more likely to take other matters into account. So don't expect Labour to campaign in 2024 on any line doubting being out. B) yes older voters did tend to support leave and yes older voters do tend to die more often than younger voters BUT you have to consider the possibility that people change their views as they get older so the new 'over 60s' may collectively be as anti EU as last decades 'over 60s' were. |
