Innledning
In the wake of the Brexit vote, where 52% chose to leave the European Union and 48% voted to remain, questions arise about whether this outcome truly represents the overall sentiment of British society.
This paper delves into the often overlooked impact of Brexit on the young population, who are likely to bear the brunt of its negative consequences.
Utdrag
The discrepancy between the attitudes of different age groups brings to light the question of fairness in the democratic process.
With a larger voter turnout among the older age groups compared to the younger ones, the outcome of the vote naturally reflects the preferences of the former.
This raises concerns about whether the younger generation's voices are adequately represented and whether they could have potentially changed the result.
While the focus here is on the Brexit debate, this discussion is not exclusive to this particular issue.
In any political discourse, decisions made today will inevitably have a greater impact on the younger generation, who have more years ahead of them.
Yet, it is also essential to maintain a balance in democracy, involving diverse perspectives in governing decisions to ensure a fair and inclusive society.
