I know what you mean, but I don't think it was ever really demanded that politicians be accountable. The baby boomers loved it when they were promised a bunch of 'stuff' if you voted for this candidate.
These days I would tend to think that my generation is a bit more aware of accountability and fiscal responsibility. Hopefully that translates into candidates that have the same viewpoint being put into office.
