> This wouldn't make any real difference to politics because young people don't vote

What can young people change in the midterm future anyway? The population is becoming more and more a inverted pyramid where the old people are the majority and the young people are the minority.

A voting system which adjusts the voting power based on the age would be interesting. If old people are a minoity the get more voting power until they are equal and vice versa. I believe with something like that the brexit vote would not have happened.

35% over 50. Is that an inverted pyramid? Seems like a regular pyramid. I think voting demographics indeed has to be explained by "young people don't vote".
