One that considers all parts of society instead of certain select groups.

Sounds good, something like this
a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Quote:
In a speech on Nov. 11, 1947, Sir Winston Churchill reminded the UK’s House of Commons that “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those others that have been tried.” In a similar fashion, capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others.
Capitalism is no different from anything else in this world. It is imperfect because imperfect men created it. Humans are not perfect, nor are they capable of perfection. Avarice and greed are not unique to capitalism. They were present in the USSR, and they will be present in any man-made system.

As for the young well throwing things at the electorate is what parties do. Why do you think the Conservatives offered the triple-lock for pensioners and largely isolated them from the austerity program? That's no different to Corbyn offering stuff to the young. You can't expect the young not to react while the government does nothing for them and then patronise them by saying they're being manipulated when someone actually addresses their concerns. If there is a lesson from Brexit then that was it!
Besides there was also a swing in middle-aged voters in urban areas and a decline in the turnout of older people. It wasn't all young people.

The difference being that the pensioners have the triple lock. Jeremy admits that he couldn't deliver on his promise.
