    This is a different chat to the USA as they do not have an age limit when it comes to working which is great but not if age becomes a factor influencing one doing their job well and no one does anything about it. 84 years is a good age to retire honestly.

    I definitely think there should either be an age limit and/ or cognitive testing past 75. Some people stay sharp until they are in their 90's, but most do not. I have an Aunt who is 92 and she is so sharp, but her body is fragile. Either way, no way an 80 year old can keep up with all the political duties of a politician.

    Political leaders make decisions that affect millions of people, including national security, economic policy, healthcare, and foreign relations. Because these responsibilities require sustained physical and cognitive ability, it is reasonable to consider age limits for elected officials, just as some other high-responsibility professions have mandatory retirement ages. Senator Mitch McConnell's public health incidents and prolonged absences have raised concerns about whether some leaders can continue to perform their duties effectively at very advanced ages.

    Mitch McConnell is 84 years old and has had recent health-related absences. It is reasonable to question whether prolonged inability to serve affects representation. However, saying he "should retire" is an opinion, not a fact…

    I agree there should be a maximum age just as the minimum is 15 years to 18 years for someone to be eligible to work. When people grow older they do have their own incapacities and it’s part of life

    If yes, it would mean no one above a certain age could run for or hold any elected political office, so current older leaders would have to step down once they hit that limit.

    Yes, it’s true that many politicians stay in office well past the age when most people retire.

    This is an opinion about public policy rather than a verifiable fact. Whether political positions should have an age limit is subjective and varies across legal systems.

    After sometime we do need power transfer as well as knowledge transfer and so how do we do that if young people are not present in spheres they are supposed to occupy to make decisions about the future of the country that senior citizens will leave them with. At the same time it is important to note that younger people are less intrigued or interested about politics because they don’t or can’t relate to the people they see in power - this is my personal opinion

    Many older people are highly capable. However, public policy often sets general standards to protect the public interest. Just as there are minimum ages for holding office, a reasonable upper age limit could help ensure that leaders are able to carry out the demanding responsibilities of their positions.

    In politics it’s hard to make young people join the movement because we always claim that “ I’m not into politics “ so that’s why you find senators , ministers being in their old age and even the person following them being old too
