Thanks to all those young people who voted for Jeremy Corbyn.

The political establishment can never again take you for granted because they know you guys turn up.

Me-me-mellennials wanting everything given to them for free from the government. The same generation that votes for Bernie in America or Podemos here in Spain. They grow up and realise an effort is required.

@Cierzo: The baby boomer generation benefited from huge social mobility, a big welfare state and affordable housing. Generation Y have it tougher, recognise so and realise that things are getting worse. They are prepared to do something about it,

@Burnley123: Generation Y have grown up in a much more pampered way than baby-boomers. They are as a whole quite narcissistic. I trust much more those born after 2000, who are starting to realise that they will be tbe first generation to live worse than the previous ones

@Cierzo: We can say who is pampered and who is not then things are getting worse. I believe Spain has youth unemployment of well over 20%. In the UK there are no houses. Also real incomes are stagnant or have declined for a long time. This is not something your, or to an extent even my generation has had to deal with.

@Burnley123: Baby boomers had not easy at all either,but they had a much more fighting and less whining attitude. They had initiative, it lacks a lot in millennials

@Cierzo: Maybe not, Mellenials are getting more politically active.
