Well, in a couple of years, some countries more than 50% of the population will be retired. Even a perfect democracy would not pass a law to improve young people’s lives so they can have time and money to have kids.
Just like in a perfect democracy, no affordable housing law will be approved because 66% of the population are homeowners.
Its unsolvable.
Only if every person votes solely in their own immediate selfish interests. A collective mindset is necessary for a functional democratic society.
Correct, a "perfect democracy" requires empathy.
People blame boomers, but really we only have ourselves to blame sure to lack of voter turnout and everyone voting strategically, instead of who they actually want to win.
