Was there a Baby Boom in the UK and if so can Brexit be delayed until enough of them die to create a Remain majority?

Has anyone done the math on how many points Leave loses per month by sheer attrition?

1350 per day.

yeah it’s supposed to roughly be 52-48 in remains favour based on extrapolating the vote to “today’s” population, but maybe all this “bad treatment” by the EU has turned off a majority of remain voters ? also brexit means brexit

brexit is like one of those monkey traps where they put a peanut in a narrow mouthed jar and when the monkey reaches in and grasps the peanut it's fist is now too wide to pull out

You just want to say "come on man, just let go of the brexit, you can literally just walk away." Meanwhile the UK is flopping around, twisting about and making GBS threads on itself

What makes this analogy even better is that the peanut is not actually even a peanut, it's a piece of poo poo

But the monkey wasn't sure, so after some thinking 52% of its brain decided that the thing in the jar is actually the most delicious treat and it must have it

There are many ways in which this monkey is not the smartest creature around

It's britain so you've got to factor in a significant number of people who voted remain the first time, but will vote leave the second time because 'it won.'
