Excellent explanation of why successive generations vote the way they do in good times and bad times depending how the state of the country is at the time of leaving school.
One can see the cycle of repeat.
All I think the majority of us want are leaders that are not corrupted and then fuck everything up because of their own greed.
The only way I see the corrupt element being kept in check is through true democracy! A government that does what the majority ask of it! A government that knows that if it upsets the people it will be removed.
The problem is how do we create an environment that keeps the greedy in check and out of power.
As the next generation takes over from the previous how do we stop complacency setting in, because it is so easy for bullshitters to lie their way into peoples favour and then we are caught in the cycle of lies once again.
How do we get to a society that is vigilant and able to keep our society in harmony and devoid of the bullshitters forever.
