My generation is facing down a housing crisis, crippling debt, and a bleak economic future. Can you blame us for wanting a strongman to fix it all?

Generation Z has finally had enough. Yesterday, a new poll said that 52 percent of 13 to 27 year olds believe “the UK would be a better place” with a “strong leader” and no elections.

Surprised? I’m not. Whatever people say about my generation being ‘snowflakes’, reality defrosted any privilege we had years ago.

Far from living in a world of sunshine, roses and iced coffee, we face some of the biggest challenges of any generation in peacetime.

Take home ownership. For me, aged 22, it’s a distant dream not worth contemplating.........
