&gt;<i>Wrong. It&#x27;s only &quot;disproportionate&quot; because that cohort actually votes. The only reason that group has more power than any other group is that 20-29 year olds don&#x27;t vote. People in their 60&#x27;s do.</i><p>Wrong too, I&#x27;m afraid. In lots of Western countries the average age of the population has rose as high as 40 year old (in contrast with older values of even less than 30). So it&#x27;s not always that &#x27;young people don&#x27;t vote&#x27;, it&#x27;s also there are less of them too.
