Youth vs. Senior

Check out this graphic from Creekside:


According to one poll, 46.2% of seniors intend to vote for the Conservatives, compared to 20.0% of youth.  Meanwhile, 20.6% of youth intend to vote for the Green Party, compared to 7.4% of seniors.  

If you're wondering whether your vote could make a difference?  It can.  So few youth turn out to vote, no wonder our Parliament looks more like the preferences of seniors.  There are something like three million voters under the age of 25, and 20.6% of three million is a BIG DEAL.
