Is this the EU remainers still want to be a part of?

Brexit is expected to a cause a loss of 10% GDP, around 200 billion a year. Government revenues are around 35% GDP, so a loss of 10% means 70 billion less for public spending. State pensions cost 90 billion a year, 65% of voters over 65 voted to leave.
A solution is to cut State pensions by 65% or 58 billion per year and let the generation that mostly voted for Brexit pay for most of it.
This is a controversial idea, so we should hold a referendum to ensure the will of the people.
As in the EU referendum, we must ignore the interest of those that will be most affected, so pensioners will not be allowed to vote.
Of course many pensioners will lose out, but they will be reassured by empty promises from wealthy politicians, and they can starve in the knowledge that it is a price worth paying for Brexit.
Never mind cake let them eat sovereignty

So, being one of those receiving a UK state pension, paid for out of my NI contributions, who didn't vote, my pension would remain at the full amount and not be reduced by your proposal?

I quite agree that things change, but not always for the better. I doubt that my younger Grandchildren will ever receive a state pension, that said, I hope that it will not be something that they will have paid for, but not received. My children are all employed, one in private industry, one in the NHS, and one H.M. Forces, all will receive a private pension, BUT they are still contributing to their state pension, how much, if ever, they will receive as pension is a matter of conjecture, if not doubt. As I said, the scroungers need to be rooted out, and dealt with. If ever the state pension scheme is ended, anyone who has paid into it but not received it, should have all their contributions returned to them with interest, not have their hard earned money stolen by the government, in my view. If savings need to be made, let's start by scrapping M.P.s expenses.
