Should the younger generation turn their back on the older generation?

It might be just me but are we heading for a inter generational war the young blame the old for allowing the Tories into power. Iv recently witnessed a few nasty exchanges between the old and young and I mean nasty, its a worrying sign .

I welcome younger generation being more active, students haven't been particularly fired up since the 1960s. Maybe some are still activists as pensioners

Question is did these younger people Vote???
It's ok blaming others but did they actually get off their arses and vote?

To be honest I doubt any generation is actually to blame for the Tories getting in - they had a majority vote - end of!

Lets turn that question around , did any party try to reach the younger voter in their campaigns ? What I saw seemed to suggest that all parties were targeting the older end.

I wouldn't know who they targeted but they did come door knocking pre-election and how do they know who lives there?

They would have a good idea , for example I doubt any Liberal would be knocking on doors at say a university hall of residence.

Don't the Uni's have politicians from all parties go in to talk to them as a group?
