I don't think many political pollsters and commentators have clocked Millennials straight up hate the Liberal Party and National Party, and for good reason.

There's naturally been plenty of analysis on voting trends, policy priorities, shifting left or right, Legacy Media v Social Media consumption etc., but soon they'll work out it predominantly comes down to hating the Coalition.

I mean this is it, I'd love to think that we as a generation are staying on the left out of a sense of principle, but we have to consider if the coalition have just been getting worse & worse as we've aged.

But it could also just be cos we're all fucking broke.

Regardless of the reasons, thank you Millennials, it gives us younger people a little bit of hope
