Countries that have mandatory retirements for politicians include Argentina (age 75), Brazil (75 for judges and prosecutors), Mexico (70 for judges and prosecutors) and Singapore (75 for members of parliament.)
Yes, but there should be a strict age limit of nobody over 70 in politics
No, but those declared medically incompetent in the past should be retested before being allowed to run.
@9D9KG522yrs2Y
Mental competency should be for ALL politicians
@9J78RN2 1yr1Y
Flags ups mental nurse are Ireland and chime of Europe unions help or hurt staff officer with dignity and big improvement skills with French high alert warning signs emergency investigation
@9G5L4XX1yr1Y
Yes, only if they have been noted of having difficulties within the larger public eye while doing their duty
@9FDW25Z2yrs2Y
Every politician should have to
Politicians should be forced to retire by 75 years.
@9F2C6JH2yrs2Y
No this discriminates against older politicians and mental competency is too subjective
No. I would rather see an age cap of say 80, for entering parliament. People that are (statistically) not going to significantly feel the effects of policy decisions shouldn't be making them.
@9DNC7CG2yrs2Y
There should be an age limit of 60.
No, People elected them into office, if age was a concern they wouldn't have voted for these people
No, but there should be a ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office
@9D8F24B2yrs2Y
No, but an age cap of 72 should be implemented
@9FPG44R2yrs2Y
Yes, and cap salaries and benefits, and ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office
@9CKSRS42yrs2Y
No one over 70 should be in parliament
Yes but they should still be accepted if they pass as they will have more experience
@9C498282yrs2Y
If you are running for prime minister, then yes at any age.
