You think it’s perfectly fine behaviour if the standing government goes out of it’s way to call an election at a time that is widely regarded to be a bad time for a large portion of the electorate to get to the polls?
People should absolutely register to vote. However the government should be called out for what is essentially just an attempt to make life difficult for a group of people who pretty significantly don’t tend to vote for them.
I think you’re exaggerating the impact this age group has on elections.
Most of them don’t even bother to go and vote. This is precisely why the government doesn’t do anything for them. It’s also not going to be a consideration for the timing of the election for the same reason.
A government shouldn’t disenfranchise voters. If someone’s not gonna vote, that’s entirely their choice, but no one else should make that choice for them.
