Participation among younger voters appears fragile. For many younger and disillusioned constituents, the issue is not whether politics matters, but whether participation feels meaningful under existing conditions. Among younger voters in particular, there is growing unease that positions which once felt urgent and uncompromising now appear softened, delayed or constrained. Staying informed, scrutinising shifts in position and showing up at the ballot box even when confidence wavers are not acts of endorsement so much as acts of insistence. This election may feel less certain and belief may feel harder to extend.
