Some figures on the UK electorate re the Brexit referendum.

In 2000, 18 years ago, some 2,200 babies per day were born in the UK. That is now the daily addition to the eligible voting electorate.

In 2018 some 1,640 die every day in the UK. That is additional removals from the electoral register (assuming the vast majority of those deaths are over 18 yr olds). A total daily 'churn' in the register of ca. 3,800.

it is now 774 days since the Referendum. A total  change in the electorate of 2,941,200.

The majority for Leave back in 2016 was 1,269,501.
