Many people are looking at the youth vote for the Green's as a 'post-ideological' vote, a la Barack Obama. This could very well be reflective of how young voters approach other issues besides the environment. As Naumi mentioned, in the end I think, the strength of the Green Party youth vote will indicate a greener parliament in the years to come. However, Oren's comment is well taken with regards to the expected right-shift of young voters as they age, at least in the context of the 3 traditional parties. It'll be interesting to see how the Liberals, NDP or Conservatives approach this evolving paradigm. I half agree with Oren’s comment and half with Naumi’s.

"If you're not a liberal when you're 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you're 40, you have no head." I used to donate money to greenpeace when I was 19. five years later, I spent a lot more time paying attention to what the conservatives have to say. I don’t necessarily agree.
