Hardly surprising. The idea that the young anywhere in the west are right-wing or 'libertarian' is a fantasy.

The right wing doesn't give the young any room given that it's developed over the last thirty years into the self serving ideology of the reactionary baby-boomer generation.
George Carlin pretty much nailed the baby boomers:

"It's MINE... that's MINE GIVE IT TO ME IT'S MINE!!!"



And us millenials are any different?

Yes. We are placated with technology yet we can't afford property, often can't afford further education, have been stuck in a six year downturn, have decreasing access to decent pensions and will generally have to work longer, harder and get taxed more to sustain our parents. Remember that those aged 50-60 are the richest cohort with money tied up in pension funds, property and shares and have the highest rates of pay and disposable income and they are all now retiring.

Yes, speaking as a Gen X'r, everyone at least a few years younger than me trying to start out got a raw deal.
