Both sides have good reasons to choose what they wish, to be frank, I do not envy the decision they had to face.

However, I will point out that I strongly dislike the fear-mongering seen on both ends, especially on the side of those who voted remain. Leaving the EU won't be the end of England or the world. It will lead to a recession, but it should be short term, certainly not as bad as the recession in 2008.

The more fearful people are of the future of post-Brexit England, the more it will lead to uncertainty, and the worse the economic recession will be. After all, uncertainty is the economy's worst enemy, as it stalls the market.

I'm not going to say either side is wrong or right, but for those already panicking and claiming it will ruin their lives, please understand that England will most likely pull through. Any nation with a backbone knows that refusing to trade with post-brexit Britain would be absolutely moronic, as it is still considered a rather powerful nation when it comes to economy. 

Germany, USA and Canada ALL say they want special trade deals with post-Brexit Britain

Statement from the Governor of the Bank of England following the EU referendum result

I'm also a little irked about the whole "OLD PEOPLE SHOULDN'T VOTE" narrative.

Yes, most people who opted for Brexit were older than 45 (Though not by a large margin), but the whole "They're going to die soon so they don't care!" is, to put it bluntly, bullshit. Most of these people will live to see the results and will be affected by them, just as you do. To dismiss someone's opinion based on their age is petty and stupid. 


TL;DR: Stop panicking. Everything will be fine. Britain was fucked either way.
