Maybe everyone is selfish to some degree - but youngsters have a much narrower field of vision in my experience.

I'd say it's quite the opporsite.

I don't know how old you are but if you're past 30 you must remember what most youngsters were like when you were Yong and how most grow up and cringe at some of the things they did and said when young and foolish.

I'm 21, and I've got to be honest whilst I suffer from being selfish, I don't think that I've ever came up with ideas that could potentially wreck this country like some of the older voters were doing when they was worshipping Farage all because he spoke for them and only them.

Tbh it's why the Tories get in is because older people don't give a **** how the young in particular get treated, and then the older generations wonder why the younger generations are gravitating towards Corbyn, of course alot of what Corbyn says is more than likely bull****, but he is the only one to promise the younger generations a better future for all and not just their vote base.

Wise words mock.

For too long the young have been ignored whilst the pensioners and baby boomers are catered to. Who cares about the young, they don't bother to vote anyway, can't be arsed to get out of bed. Who cares if the youngsters are treat like crap, if their schools are closing and such. The older generations tend to own houses (wages today cannot buy a house for most people) and have pensions (todays young will be lucky to have a pension at all). They had free education and all of the stuff that they now despise the young for wanting. Older generations tend to be a lot more wealthy than youngsters through years of having steady employment (something thats rarer now) and the option to save...where wages today do not allow for savings, so many live hand to mouth and are one paycheck away from homelessness. What exactly is wrong with younger people wanting the opportunity to own their own house rather than rent all of their lives? Whats wrong with a bit of hope for a decent wage...afterall poor people are only poor as they don't want to be rich, isn't that the case?

Corbyn listens to the younger generation. He respects them. He takes the time to talk to them. He does not ignore them in favour or throwing more perks at pensioners to retain the grey vote. And younger people respond to finally being noticed...being noticed as more than just drains on society who all have asbos and don't want to work or better themselves. Then they are in the wrong for voting for the person who actually seems to care? They are gullible and naive and being manipulated? FFS these are the people who will be paying your pensions whilst being unable to ever have one themselves. They will be the people staffing the carehomes, hospitals, looking after you as you age. They quite literally are the future. A bit of respect wouldn't go amiss. The contempt for younger people is absolutely astounding. Hatred for the generation that you actually raised. Its bizarre.

I do agree some of Corbyns policies are pretty unrealistic or unneeded. But who can blame the younger generation for wanting to have the same opportunities in life as their parents got? Really?

You want the truth?... Ask the youth

Ask a 5 year-old and you'll get the truth, their truth, most likely what someone they idealised told them - i.e. Santa will bring them presents at Christmas if they are good. I can see the resemblance.
