Getting more young people (and women) into positions of political power is a good thing.
Whether you agree or disagree with the politics of 37-year old Alexis Tsipras, the leader of a leftist-Greek coalition which surprised in the weekend election, he has demonstrated that not every member of the next generation is politically impotent.
While this blog probably would not be characterized as far left-wing, we do celebrate seeing someone under-40 years of age achieving political success.
Bravo, Alexis!
