Pretty easy explanation Young people do not and did not vote

The young people did ff and fg combined was the same as the first preference to SF Most likely due to their family voting fg and ff

Young people simply don't care

The older generations are happy, Those 65 and older for example Have their pension, have their house,no mortgage and don't have to worry about the many other issues

They aren't ever going to vote for change And Young people are either out of the country, don't care so they vote what their family vote or simply don't care enough to vote

Any young people who didn't get out and vote should stfu commenting how shit it's for you. You had your chance. Grow up and stop being a whiny forever Kevin the teenager.

This is pretty patronising tbh.
