Sorry if this has been asked before.
I hear this statement made over and over again - that people would "vote differently if we had a EU referendum today". Would you though?
I was REALLY on the fence re. the referendum. I'm 23 and from a comfortable middle-class background.
In short, I think there is a surplus of people competing for jobs - both at graduate and service level - and that the situation is exasperated by free movement. I also think the problem of housing is made worse by free movement; that there isn't enough housing for people at the middle-lower end of the pay scale and that the number of people in this bracket is ever increasing.
However, I voted to remain last minute (after much persuasion). This was due to economic and environmental reasons. I don't trust the current government with environmental policy and I don't think price rises and fewer jobs (or jobs at lower pay) will help people like me.
Would I vote differently now? No. However, I would definitely be more on the remain side than the leave (e.g. my shopping bill depresses me!).
Was anyone else who was on the fence vote differently now?
