I read somewhere that only like 36% of Brit millennials went to vote, opposed to 81% of people 65 and older. I can't remember where, but that probably had something to do with it

Not 100% Don't forget 33% of Scotland also voted to leave the EU. Sooooo....
still not majority though
^ Oil prices can explain that...
It is worth noting though that there is CONSIDERABLE ENGLISH investment in the north sea oil rigs - that means considerable money would go out of Scotland should thye for whatever reason leave the union. It's also worth noting other costs, such as unemployment, free uni tuition and NHS which Scotland would struggle to foot by itself. It's not in Scotland's economical interest to leave, be it us leaving the EU or not.
lets be honest, most the people on here talking shit about it are still young,
whats done is done,
the Uk leaving Europe is like trying to get up a steep hill, first you need a run up which means going back, even if the pound dropped and we are affect for a while, once we have started our way back up the hill, yes we have lost some things through out the process but think of the long term things that being independent can bring us.
But lets be fair we need to get these fucking scotts gone

Actually, that is still debatable, there is actually conspiracy in the Prime Minister's house of about Brexit not actually going to be able to go though due to money and etc, at least what I have heard about Brexit in that last few months of what has been going on.
We won't actually leave until an agreement with the EU is met. At the moment the UK can enter the discussions at a position of strength, if we leave and then attempt new trade agreements, we'll get screwed by the EU.

Well yeah, the people talking negatively about the result are young, that's because the majority of 18-25 year olds voted to remain. They're also the ones that will not only have to live with the outcome but are also the people who will be affected by it the most as education, research, banking, and tourism will all take sufficient blows. Expect to see prices go up on all goods next year to compensate for our damaged economy, just don't keep your eyes out for that extra £350 million going towards the NHS every week, as we'll need that to be able to access the single market.
But hey, at least we'll be able to stop all those immigrants!!!! No, wait.... that was also complete bullshit.
