Go ahead and call the young "naive and idealistic."

Because the other side of that coin is that the old are are full of fear and ignorance.

Which is what I was saying, the contrast provides a balance and it's why everyone's vote is equal, regardless of nuance.

Now in actuality not everyone's vote is equal in our General Election system - in my parents' constituency with a 20,000 majority, it's an extremely safe seat, and this may also be in part why there is a low turnout on occasion as tbh a lote of votes don't really count in the greater sense.
