While generally in agreement, the "youth didn't vote" scapegoating is incorrect - their turnout numbers were roughly the same as other demographics.

I really don't rate the Guardian for all of its content, this particular article explains well and is reasonably sourced

Wouldn't exit polls record the ages of voters though? Seems strange that there's so little data on this.
