Apathy - a lost generation of voters

As someone who is not shy of one or two strong opinions there is nothing that irks me more, especially with regards to politics, than apathy. 

Yet I find myself a member of an apathetic generation. 

An apathetic generation with a seeming in-grown hatred of Tories for cuts, Labour for forcing the cuts on us and Lib Dems for getting in to bed with the Tories. A three-way tie of disdain which leads to so many my age and younger giving up on the political system. 

Numerous polls and research consistently tell us fewer young people than ever get involved in local, never mind national, politics.
