There is an age distribution gap, and one that will always be there.
Politics and outcome doesn't need to be governed by age though, in the same way that north/south divides don't need to be the deciding factor.
Also, lets highlight the most obvious example. Corbyn is approaching being 70 years old. He is past normal retirement age already and here he is championing the causes that the young demographic identify with.
Politics just isn't that simple, and can't be generalised so easily.
