What did you/what would you have voted in the referendum?

Just completely out of interest, not to start an argument, just to see how many young people wanted what.

I'd have been remain.
Leave

But I'm one of few people who thinks that young people shouldn't have had the choice to vote - think of how little people know about politics when they're adults, let alone 16 year olds.
I would have voted leave.

I would have voted remain ... if I was British.
You see I come from an inferior country Greece and I want to steal jobs, so yeah EU helps me do it.
Remain
Leave. I'm a 100% Leaver.
DDD
Leave.
It is time to change this big con of a system and regain our own democracy.
At the time I would've gone remain for the sake of stability, given that with leave nobody really knew what was gonna happen to us afterwards. If it were to happen again now I'd vote remain just cuz tbph I'd rather Theresa May's bs got blocked by EU bigwigs at this point.

I did agree with this viewpoint until I started speaking more to people in their 40s about political stuff. There's no tangible difference between the style of argument used by them and those used by young people, at all. We're all as retarded and clueless as each other.
Spoilt my actual vote, would do so again.

I tend to find the leave side more actively repulsive but I couldn't in good conciencse vote in favour of the EU as an anarchist, that just doesn't add up to me.

The significant issue is really that Brexit I do t believe will change any of the oppresive mechanisms used to control the working classes. A particular brand of neo-liberal onomics will still dominate British politics and the same systems which weedle out independent and revolutionary thought will still be in place.

Dude Britain won't become communist after Brexit.
I expect Britain and USA to remain the conservative and pro-capitalism countries of the western world while the EU weakly and desperately tries to preserve its socialist model.
The working class is doomed anyway; their jobs will be replaced by machines.
Public frustration leads to populism of the far-right or even military law in a world where the working class is of little to no importance for the elites given that machines are much more productive and cheap.
The EU would have helped them more than the UK or USA, but as always the EU is too weak to stand such an unstable political environment so it dissolves into many sovereign counties that are willing to fight each other... once again
I know EU sucks in many ways but it was a very stable organisation with a noble goal; to unite Europe.

I know that, its the whole point, members of the EU or not the working class are getting and will continue to be ****ed either way.

The EU may ease certain aspects of that, but let's be real about it, the treatment of Greece shows what the EU, World Bank, IMF and others will do should someone try to upset the neo-liberal agenda (asif that wasn't plainly obvious from the treatment of LEDCs over the past few decades anyway).
