it's kind of a weird headline, the issue is about the power wielded by the old, not necessarily the share of the population that is (though this comes with its own problems like fiscal solvency and after all, power follows from representation)

I'm old. I am not rich in the pecuniary way, but in friendship and canine companionship. And I eagerly support young candidates. I don't want to be led by good ole boys and gals who refuse to relinquish power and represent with antique ideas. We're not all jealous horders. Some just want to live in peace and are generous in spirit. And I bet you a $250 bill that we are legion.
