Young people coming onto the register and older voters dying is gradually changing the balance. Even if nothing else changes, these demographic changes will remove the majority for Leave towards the end of 2019. This erosion of the legitimacy of the 2016 vote is a strong argument for a People’s Vote.http://www.markargent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/polling_station-tr-259x300.jpg
