Both winners and losers of elections talk about the 'will of the people'. There is no will of the people. There are millions of people each with their own view, that's all. You have to get closer to those individuals to understand politics. Demographics is (just one) way. Unsurprisingly, again the UK election result shows the old voted for the status quo, the young didn't. In an ageing society, the old win.
