No it isn't very sadly.

I've witnessed where young people are dismayed at their Parents and Grandparents who took no heed of their concerns in the referendum.

So no,.I don't agree.

A general election, where it's only for 5 years max.
More fair enough.
Although my Grandparents and Parents looked at long term effects on the next generations.

The referendum, very much will impact on the younger generation for likely many decades.
To reverse it, will cost multi billions in the future.

My own Mum, asked me how I would be voting and my Brothers and their children how they felt.
As just about all were for remain.
She then also voted remain.

So, no I don't agree that the futures of the next generation are considered enough by older voters voting.
Even if the vote will alter dramatically, possibly negatively too, the future.

Climate change too.
The young I think are the growing support as to the issue.
Again with the much older generation dismissing it.
Unfortunately.
