If young people actual voted all the time and understand it will take at least 4 - 8 years for the changes to occur, then things would be different. But the young do not vote and when they do, they expect instant changes. That is not how society works. Instant changes, good or bad, only happen under a dictator who has no problem disobeying the laws.
