Politicians of Different Generations

Sometimes it is hard to get a clear picture of how each generation is different from each other in politics. However, there is one country where, there is a politician for pretty much every generation imaginable. The country's name is Czech Republic

Andrej Babish of the Boomers

Babis is controversial and divisive figure of Czech politics. Compared to Trump and Berlusconi, he is rich and controversial businessmen, often engulfed in accusation of corruption and criminal investigations. He however remains popular among the voters of his age and older.

Petr Fiala of the Generation W

Fiala is in contrast looks like some sort of overly polished 'mister right'. He ticks various boxes, but behind this facade he is likely as much of a conservative demagogue as Tony Abbot is. Polish image combines with rather heartless cold gaze. This guy is more than willing to make life worse for everyone in the name of economy and call it the right thing to do.

Vit Rakushan of Xennials

Rakushan seems like the well-balanced all-round person who does not fall to the extremes. His party, that does not particularly stand for anything other than being local and independent of others, none the less manages to harness significant support. He works well as catch all protest candidate, he is not like other assholes, but at the same time not as crazy radical as Okamura who wants to quit EU for example.

Ivan Bartosh of Millennials

Bartosh leads rather uncompromising Pirate Party, that mostly focus on young people's issues. Began as anti-copyright movement, they eventually expanded their policies to a variety of issues, that they approach from internet native point of view. Most people in the party do work in information technology. This guy truly represents Millennials, and I would like to see more politicians like him emerge in other countries as well.
