TO think Millennials need to get their act together and

[brownmouse]

Form a political party:

• stop Brexit
• prioritise housing
• impose at least 50% tax on all inheritance
• impose second home taxes

And other stuff. But they should be IN CHARGE now. They need to rise up and sort things out.

I keep telling my DC but they are too busy on instagram. AIBU?

I am a millennial

I do not want to pay 50% inheritance tax.

Soz, too busy making avacado toast.

Will retweet though,

Love and prayers.

OK but you and happy maintaining inequality in that case, so should just not complain about university debts, housing etc.

And you can't do it yourself because...? There's no point trying to form an entirely new political party. Might as well work on getting Labour back doing what it should be doing, and what many local MPs and constituency staff are doing.

*- impose at least 50% tax on all inheritance8
- impose second home taxes

ahahahahahahahaha!!!

Millennial here.
Wouldn't want to be a part of helping to enforce any of those things.

YABU.

The electoral system is set up to ensure that only the Tories or Labour can win a general election (and both are pro Brexit).

Trying to do what you are suggesting would be like pissing into the wind.

You would not be unreasonable to think that millennials need to start getting very angry and fucking VOTE.

Nah thanks! Who fucked it up can fix it, I'm not fucking about because of someone else's mistakes. Plus who would vote for a millennial? No one, that's who

Millennials will
Never be in charge whilst the grey vote is the majority.

On and silly jibes about Instagram and avocados?

Seriously, people. Be better than this.

They are active by clicking and retweeting but it isn't enough. I agree they need to get boots on the ground. I'm not sure about your inheritance point though. I want my house to help my dc. God knows how else they will be able to afford a home.

I'm a millennial from a working class background. I've got a degree, own my own home, have a pension and don't want 50% inheritance tax thank you. I don't complain about the circumstances of my generation add DH and I have both worked hard to overcome them (no family money and live in the south East). I also do not like avocado. YABU assuming what millennials want and telling a whole generation what to do.

Inheritance tax should be abolished anyway. It's a voluntary tax because people are too bone idle to sort out their affairs competently, and move money round before they die or create will trusts. They just don't trust their children

Unfortunately Instagram takes up about 50% of our time, followed by 20% on avocado toast, 15% on flat whites, 10% on charcoal skin products and 5% on aluminium water bottles. So we have no time for anything you suggest. Sorry.

I don't know any young person who eats avocados

why don’t you

Suggestions aside, I think you mean younger millennials/ Gen Z, a lot of whom are mobilising in the US actually, which will be interesting to watch in the November elections.

How are millennials supposed to do any of this without electoral reform, OP?

And how are we supposed to get electoral reform if the only people with the power to grant it don't want it because the current system keeps them in power?

@brownmouse you're listening to a stereotype. My friends and peers are all also millennials, we're all successful in one way or another, without hand outs etc. We don't complain about how hard life is, we do vote, we are politically active in a variety of ways, we do recognise the challenges of previous generations, miner's strikes, rolling black outs, high unemployment, lack of access to education, world wars, no maternity, employment or human rights in legislation. We do object to being stereotyped as hipster coffee drinking, avocado eating, children who can't do anything for themselves other than whine. (Although I do love a good coffee..)

Millenials are not a homogenous group and they do not, in terms of numbers, outweigh other generations and so can’t force through change within the constraints of our democratic system. We tried to stop brexit, remember? The vast majority of us voted against it. We were outnumbered.

So yes, YAB V V V U.

You fucked it up, you fix it. Stop trying to pass the blame and responsibility.

I'm a millennial and also a leave voter 🤷🏼‍♀️

Phew

I am of Generation X but have 2 Millennial's of my own.

I am pleased to see so many of you whom came (many) years after me are not keen on OPs quite Draconian plans.
