'After' not 'close to', if that 'What is the EU?' was from before it might make sense but people shouldn't be asking a question like that after they've voted on it. That is assuming that people did vote at all and those google searches are not by those younger than voting age who's futures have been decided for them.

Yeah, that's really unfair on them. The Scottish independence referendum allowed 16+ to vote, how come the same wasn't done here?

Besides, I wonder what the result would have been if it was done a year later. Another years worth of young people voting and another years worth of less old people voting...

Yeah that's so unfair, an older generation deciding the future of the younger generation..... Oh wait that's exactly what happens every single day in every government around the world. In fact, this referendum was one of the very rare exeptions where young people of 18 years or older could directly vote for a political decission. And even then a lot of youth are still complaining.
