If young people turned out to vote in greater numbers, housing and job security would be more of an issue.
It's far easier to vote when you're retired and don't have to move flat every year and don't have kids etc.
Labour should propose to make election day a bank holiday. Would be a nice policy as it'd increase turnout and everyone would be angry if the Tories ever tried to roll it back.

You can see Labour edging towards that territory when they temporarily think they can mobilise a "youthquake", but then a focus group in Middlesbrough will tell them they don't like it and they'll retreat back to no man's land.
