The trouble is young people don't vote. Old people do vote, and they get free bus passes, TV licences, ridiculous pension protections and planning laws to protect their house price windfalls.
The trouble is that young people don't believe the major political parties will fulfil their promises even if they do vote for them (and they're probably right).
