This isn’t to say that young people are apathetic, or lazy, or whatever other cliche you want to wheel out. The fact is, so many of the key policies that the election will be fought on just aren’t integral to our everyday lives. As much as I’d like to enjoy the sort of living conditions in which I’d be affected by a mansion tax, or income tax cuts, I’m still living with my Mum – and have roughly £17 in my bank account. And I’d challenge you to find many 16-year-olds who aren’t in the same boat.
