If reforming democracies, don´t forget the young

Sir, Deanne Julius and John Gault opine that “American democracy needs reform”, November 1, and though we agree with their recipes, especially the term limits, we wonder whether they carry sufficient punch to bring about that revival of democracy that seems to be needed, not only in America, to capture the attention and the compromise of the quite disenfranchised younger generations. Some of us believe for instance that there is now an urgent need to introduce a much more direct representation for the young to balance out for the baby-boomers.
