Brexit was supported by old people (who as John Fugelsang said this morning, won't REALLY have to deal with the long-term impacts of the decision because ... well ... chances are they will die in the next 10 years) Younger Brits wanted to stay in the EU.

The main argument for Brexit presented to the British people apparently wasn't even true (something about money going currently to EU instead to I think the British health system) http://trofire.com/2016/06/24/leader-leave-camp-brexit-admits-hours-vote-large-part-campaign-complete-lie/

And David Cameron is jumping ship rather than deal with the aftermath.
