Their parents and grandparents can probably remember undemocratic regimes, as immigrants or citizens who fought against them. Cohorts born in the 70s and 80s can't. As Churchill said, democracy is the worst possible system - except for all the rest. It might take a taste of 'the rest' for younger generations to renew their support for democracy.
