Young People in the UK: A Growing Disenchantment with Democracy
Recent surveys have raised alarm bells regarding the faith of young people in British democracy. A report by Channel 4 found that a striking 52% of 13 to 27-year-olds would favor a strong leader unconstrained by elections or Parliament. This trend follows a previous poll indicating that nearly half of British youths aged 16 to 21 feel dissatisfied with the current democratic process. Such sentiments are not limited to Generation Z; Millennials also share similar discontent when compared to older generations at the same life stage.
