Young Brits are angry about older people deciding their future, but most didn’t vote

The Brexit vote, like most elections, posed a paradox. Those who have to live the longest with the decision's ramifications are also the ones least likely to vote. There is almost always a mismatch between having stakes in an election and actually participating in it. YouGov, a British polling service, posted a widely shared chart showing that British voters ages 18 to 24 would, on average, "live with" the Brexit decision for 69 years, as opposed to 16 years for voters older than 65.
