Brexit’s biggest fans face pension hole after EU referendum

Turning 65 used to mean mandatory retirement and a future of endless holiday. But in 2016 in Britain it came to signify a very different cut-off: Membership in the single most pro-Brexit age group in the June 23 EU referendum.

About 60% of UK population of 65 and older voted to leave the world’s largest trading bloc, the most of any age group, according to two separate exit polls.

The glaring irony is that senior citizens are also the most reliant on pensions, which face a worsening funding gap since the Brexit vote.
