Having experienced youth does not grant them wisdom either, people can grow old without learning from their experiences.

What you are actually complaining about is that pensioners haven't retained your belief in socialism.
The people that vote for policies that you disagree with probably have learnt from their life experiences and will have witnessed the financial disaster that socialism inevitably brings.
The youth of today on the other hand (those that the left want to give the vote) have no experience of actually working for what they have nor any memory of socialist policies or how they may affect them.

It wasn't me complaing about the foolishness of youth; you should read back.

No, you are complaining about the 'foolishness' of the old... I think we got that.

Looking at my family circle and their friends.... I come from a large family with many nephews and nieces and two married kids of my own...
They are all doing extremely well. Working very hard and financially stable - a large result of their upbringing, as well as the current environment that does reward hard work better than it did when I was their age.
There is nobody close to me unemployed, no-one on benefits and all are hard working wth families of their own, or heading that way... I am talking many hundreds of people here....
Most of them are also politically aware and have voted since they were able. They were better informed in life and politically, than I was at their age. The world brings it's news, stories, opinions and facts into our living rooms, onto our phones and all around us, which didn't happen 20 or 30 or 50 years ago.
In conclusion, I believe the 18 - 30 year olds - and even the 16 - 18s - to be far better informed and capable of informed choice than previous generations.
