The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.
There has been a lot of talk online about how youth are getting less conservative and how GenZ will end conservative movements. In practice though, that doesn’t seem to be true. Conservative parties, particularly when in opposition, get an easier time tapping into anger. Anger at the world, at government, at things being bad when they should be good. We’re in an angry age and it’s’s easy for populists to take advantage of that.
Poilievre certainly is. He has little to no policy but boy is he good at being angry. Will young voters buy into his schemes? Looks like it.
That’s all they have. That’s all they do. Poilievre has no plan. And if they get elected, they’ll just make everything worse for everybody. They’re Republican fan boys.
Younger generations only heard him complain about the housing market and somehow that was enough for them.
Honestly the NDP needs to complain more and be more vocal. They need to run ads like Poilievre is doing. They need to act if they want to get votes.
