Young people in Europe and the centre-right's existential crisis

[mileslunn]

I think a more accurate statement is in Europe, the young are not voting for traditional centre-right parties, but many are voting for parties on the right that are populists and non-traditional.  In Anglosphere countries, its true the young lean heavily to the left, but seems much less the case in Continental Europe.  In fact in Eastern Europe its the opposite, younger voters tend to be more right wing than older voters.  Also for the right it depends on type too as the mainstream right wing parties in many English speaking countries are more ideological than they are in continental Europe.
