Also I saw on TV that even though 75% of under 25's voted remain only 36% of the age group turned out to vote compared to over 80% of 65+. Pretty much explains the results and you can blame to old for deciding the future of the young with little effect on them selves whilst blaming the young for not bothering to have a say in their own future.

Indeed, this picture says it all


Now I wonder what percentage of each age group turned out to vote.
With an important decision like this with results this close, a re vote should be in order.

That picture isn't how age groups voted though. It's yougov estimates from sampling 2000ish people. They also had a 10 point lead for remain.

 

It seems to be more geographical than after group based. However as 28% did not vote, only 35% or so actually chose to remain in the EU. That's a pretty overwhelming thumbs down to it really.

Only 37% voted to leave if you take the 28% abstain into account. Since it was expected to come out remain it's more likely that the majority of those 28% would not have been in favor to leave.

Woodenpints answered my question, and yeah seems it was more heavily age group based than that poll made out. 75% of 18-25.
Oh well, maye it will teach the youngsters to bother to show up to vote next time.
