@dejonsimmons Unfortunately, youth are beholden to demographics that ensure their voice is overwhelmed at the polls.
The 18-35 group has maybe half the voting power of the generations above. Probably less.
It should be no surprise that many youth opt to vote with their feet.
They keep beating you a slow death by a thousand cuts with “legacy” and nostalgia. And by the time /and if/ you're allowed to build, you will realize you're in the midst of an identity crisis, and it's going to be too late.
"Only 8% of Progressive Labour Party members are 35 and under, including junior members (under 18). This is in stark contrast to the broader electorate, where 20% are between 18 and 35."
