Are you saying that 52% of British people are retired?

A majority of those working full-time or part-time voted to remain in the EU; most of those not working voted to leave.

		If you look at various ways to slice the voters and look for over 50% leave voters you get arbitrarily many "people with X attribute" factors. Being in England, having lower education, being white, being over 45, being christian, etc etc.

No, but the only two people that I personally know who voted for Brexit, my partner’s parents, were both retired. They did it as a protest because they never thought that it would pass.

They immediately regretted it once my partner explained how it would fuck up her/our future.

They have subsequently both died.
