Should politicians over 75 years of age have required to pass a mental competency test?

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.)

No, I would prefer term limits instead

No, mental competency is too subjective

No, this discriminates against older politicians

People over the age of 55 should not be allowed to fight election, every political candidate should have a college degree, should pass a psychological evaluation and should have no prior criminal record in order to contest elections.

The country needs young leaders with new ideologies for the betterment of the country, but the older generation with experince can guide them

Their relevance should be tested to check whether they are up to date and not following their old ideologies.

No, our government needs experienced leaders
