You need money to run and young people done have the money.

That's one issue.

Another is that most people are unlikely to vote for someone with little-to-no life experience.

As mush as youth and enthusiasm are useful traits, so is experience working in a variety of tasks and situations. (Both employment and volunteer/community service types of experience)

Electing the equivalent of student council candidates won't improve the situation.

In this context a 40 year old person would count as a young person.
