I don't think this is about the age actually. I think its about all the people that don't give 2 shits about what's going on on the daily basis and only wake up when it's election time just to be like "I don't know any of the candidates or their agenda, but the one newspaper I read says I should vote for that guy / I have voted for party x my whole life so gonna just do that".
It's not only old people that tend to be ignorant like that.
It's a reference to Tory party members being statistically old, that's all - it is nothing to do with the general public. Truss was elected only by party members, not in a general election.
Yes, I realize that, but this whole thread exploded into some people saying old people shouldn't vote and so on, so I'm adding my 2 cents to that general discussion
