In the UK there is a peak of sorts for boomers, albeit later than in America:
1949 - Jeremy Corbyn
1950 - Harriet Harman
1953 - Tony Blair
1956 - Theresa May
And there could be one for Xers. Three important British politicians were born in mid 1960s:
1964 - Boris Johnson
1966 - David Cameron
1967 - Michael Gove
On the Continent there is also a peak for boomers, roughly at the same time than in Britain:
1949 - Lech Kaczynski
1952 - Vladimir Putin
1954 - Angela Merkel / Alexander Lukashenko
1955 - Nicolas Sarcozy
But the controlling cohorts of continental Xers are definitely younger:
1972 - Pedro Sánchez
1973 - Matteo Salvini
1974 - Alexis Tsipras
1977 - Emmanuel Macron
1949 - Jeremy Corbyn
1950 - Harriet Harman
1953 - Tony Blair
1956 - Theresa May
