58% of those 25-34 DID vote. Only 36% of those <25.

Yes, it could have been better. But many did care, and your broad brush is disgusting.

7. 64% of those under the age of 25 not voting doesn't mean young ppl didn't vote

The numbers prove you are wrong.

Also I note you ignore the 25-34 cohort.

I think the turn out was around 77% so I'm wondering what was the demographic of the 23% that did not vote.

10. Since London strongly favored Remain, that probably did have a big influence.

It never should have been a simple majority vote for such a momentous decision. Things like this should require a super majority decision.
