So young, impressionable people exposed to blatant left bias through universities, with little world experience and outright assumed intellectual superiority are voting remain... and this proves remain is in the nations best interests how exactly?

Lets not even progress to obvious conclusion that 'old people are just outright racists!?' rendering their several decades of experience and contributions that build our communities invalid compared to those of the younguns (who clearly know it all already) who have comparatively very little world experience but are assumed to be correct (educated the Right way!)? I mean we're fast approaching full retard/Trogan horse schooling here...

Back to the initial assumptions though, its unreasonable to state any degree from any university is a reliable indicator of intellect. If all degrees were intellectual then yeah, maybe we could draw that assumption but the bar has been set so damn low in some degree courses and institutions that they could be considered intellectually pedestrian to all but the most challenged individuals, so yes, they are 'educated' but we can't say they are intellectually superior unless we dismiss all the fluffy degrees...

Further to that, I don't remember hearing international trade agreements being a core module in arts, sports science or any degrees for that matter so I'd question the proposition that merely holding a degree translate to further comprehension on the complexities of brexit? but again, why be rational about this, there's a narrative to push!

To be fair, I would prattle on about my anecdotal experiences and observations that Labours spectacular push to send every knuckle dragger to university has predictably pushed down standards, further compounded by monetising education making uni's for-profit cash cows ramming as many 'customers' of any intellectual ability through their doors to hand out those £30,000 pieces of paper.
That student union's are usually run by sports science and other such weekend subject students not because they have so much studying to do and so little time to socialise.

But I'll spare you and go straight for a conclusion suggesting that the argument presented is based upon false premise and overstated conjecture, the conclusions are spurious and malicious to say the least and if anything, the further left bias Uni students are subjected to and that they vote in that direction should at least be considered if we want an objective view but of course we don't want to be objective.

Now I could post links galore to demonstrate my own confirmation bias here but figure considering the level of popular anti brexit 'evidence' bouncing around here I'd at least leave something about as reliable, accurate, comprehensive but far more entertaining Thumbs Up

@skatefreak I think the point about university educated folk voting primarily for remain is that they're university educated. Not that they're young or left-wing indoctrinated.

Also there is an intellectual bar for almost every university course. A-levels, for a start. A lot of people are too dumb even for those.

Before you accuse me of bias, keep in mind I voted to leave too. I'm just not a fan of the "students r bad" argument, because it's frankly as stupid as the "gammon eggs and brexit" accusation from those who want to blame everything on old whiteys.

And, given the extremes, I'd much rather live among an entirely university educated populace than an entire "education is overrated you just need a good work ethic" populace (which by the way is the classic thing people do to make themselves feel better about being not having a higher education - claiming 'good work ethic' or 'common sense' is their special thing which anyone with a degree certificate knows nothing about, as if being a clueless workshy student bum is a life choice taken to the grave - another nonsense assumption made by people who just love to invent an enemy via stereotypes and collectivist politics).

I think in any deal, the EU is going to tear us a new one.
It has too, otherwise other countries might start thinking of following suit, and the EU wants to exist.

The way the government is handling it is appalling. I can't even remember the name of the Brexit secretary now, and i'd never heard of it. If we voted leave, and Cameron quit because he's a Remainer, surely we should have got a PM who supported leave, which Sharia didn't
