Youth is key

It is a new generation of Spanish politicians. Watching the debate between the four candidates on Spanish television on Monday night gave an insight into the "new Spain", a country which now has four political parties, two on each side of the political spectrum. Spain is a country which is going places and where youth and new ideas are key. What a difference from British politics. There is Theresa May who is 62 and Jeremy Corbyn is 69; Vince Cable is 73. Perhaps British politics needs an injection of youth. New ideas are certainly needed to break the Brexit deadlock and to put the country back on track.

The difference between the political leaders of Spain and Britain is clear to see. Perhaps it should be a case of out with the old and in the with the new in Britain because at the moment the rather mature British leaders are going nowhere.
