Good grief, now you're claiming that there aren't many over 50s on Facebook? I'd be interested to know how many there are but I'll wager it dwarfs the narrow split in the vote.You haven't read what I put. Nowhere have I said the £9.3m spent by the government was illegal. Whether they were moral in sending out a biased and factually incorrect pamphlet is another matter.The argument is that the £700k the leave campaign may have spent was what won the vote, as advertising is so effective. The government spent £9.3m, but don't seem to have converted many people. I am still baffled by how the Social Media only affected the demographic who supposedly voted leave (supposedly the over 50's). I am fairly computer literate, but only use Facebook to see what pictures my kids post. Find it difficult to believe us over 60's were brainwashed by twitter, Facebook and whatever other social media there is that I've never heard of!
Anyway, let's play the game again where we pretend you have a reasonable point. Even if the social media campaign only affected the gullible youth, that still counts. A vote is a vote. Why do you have so much trouble acknowledging that targeting occurred, that it was probably illegal, and that it could have affected the vote?
If leavers genuinely wanted the people to govern the country, we should have a vote on the final deal with all options open. And that must include an option to can this folly and remain.
