The argument for why young people should be more influenced and have a higher influence on the Brexit-vote is an outcome of a generation, that has only livened during the acceleration of the globalization.
They have been raised knowing, that they can study and work all over Europe . Some even talks about the young people identifying themselves as European citizens or as both British and European .
This will undoubtedly also be used as an argument against themselves, because their short life-experience, doesn’t include remembering a time without EU
where the conditions in the United Kingdom was better in comparison to other countries, which may have something to do, with UK being a former imperial nation.
The older man and the generation 60+’s attitude toward Brexit appear contradictory to Kay and the generation under 24.
Coupled with the arguments about Brexit influencing the young people more than older people in both economically, socially and in the creation of one’s identity, this is mainly what the discussion is about: is it fair that older people has a bigger influence on the vote’s outcome, because it has more influence on the younger people.
