Democracy is *not* at risk if young men - or indeed, any demographic - decides to exercise their democratic rights to vote for a person or party they think represents them. We seem to be falling into the habit of conflating cultural progressivism with a system of governance, and whilst those two have might have once travelled together, they are not the same. It's this conflation which gets us into the wrongheaded thinking where we bemoan 'damage to democracy' when voters democratically vote for people, parties and policies we do not prefer. Democracy is not in danger, cultural progressivism is simply being contested
