It seems that while they may connect with political causes, young people have lost faith in political parties. They perceive the issues to be bigger than any political party can handle as they’re global issues.
Well, there’s a shock. I can’t imagine how young people could be losing respect for those in power in this (and other countries). I mean, it’s not as if politicians are lying, cheating, conniving bums who are out for whatever they can get, only interested in the voter when it’s election time, change their stance to suit the moment, favour quick soundbites over real meaning and can barely think ahead to the next election let alone do any real long term planning. I mean, really, that’s not like them at all, right?
