BREXIT: Seems like it's a mirror of American political scene right now.

Much will depend on turnout, with younger Britons seen as more supportive of the EU than their elders but less likely to vote. HP

"Britain First" in large part. Sounds just like most Trump supporters (substituting "America First", of course).

Older, whiter voters tend to support Brexit (and indeed are more likely to vote), while younger, more diverse voters tend to oppose it (and are less likely to vote).

Nice post.
