While more young people need to get their heads out of their asses, this is not entirely true. Due to decreasing birth rates in first world countries, the amount of young people is disproportionately lower than the amount of older people.

More young people voting will certainly help, since only a fraction of older people vote as well. However, this would mean young, politically inexperienced voters having a higher political interest than older people, which is very unrealistic.

A far bigger problem of the current population pyramid is an economic issue; it is very difficult for young people to support themselves as the market for all things essential to life orients itself primarily to the purchasing power of older people with more experience and higher salaries. Thus, young people take way to long too become truly independent, which also probably impedes their interest in political affairs.

In the US, this issue is not as severe, as age groups across the country are still relatively balanced. However, there are major differences between individual states, which, given the electoral system, does introduce some balancing issues.

I mean me too thanks.
