      To be fair, even the oldest in that cohort are too young to have voted in the referendum

        I know, that result is not on them. I mean elections since and in the future

          Democracy provides for the peaceful working out of different interests between different groups. Personally, I find the argument somewhat persuasive that if young people don’t vote, then anti-youth policies are entirely democratic and appropriate. If it really mattered to them, then they’d vote.

          But as you imply, a problem is introduced when one particular vote has consequences that are impossible to reverse for decades.
