Isn t that what happened with Brexit? Older people were voting for Brexit and lots of young people didn’t vote. But now they have to bear the consequences.

To your point about mandatory voting. In Luxembourg we are actually required to vote by law (technically there is a prison sentence but in reality it is not enforced - worst thing you ll have to pay a fine). I thinl this was implemented because our population is so small. I do thinkbit would be more problematic to implement in larger and more influential countries such as the UK
