Some of the younger generation are not only unaware but completely uninterested in politics, what this percentage might be, I have no idea, but I don't think any political party should count on a younger demographic getting them in. It's our generation that turn out for elections. Personally I always did as soon as I became eligible to vote, my mother told me about the Pankhursts when I was quite young and I was also aware from quite a young age of how many people in the world are denied the vote. I talk to my younger son about politics from time to time and he tells me that he finds all the major parties equally unappealing and very unrepresentative.
