There should be a determined retirement age for politicians. As it gives the young blood chance to prove themselves by running nation. We know every job has a retirement age. Every coin has a two sides. Elder people have ample of experience. They make the younger generation known to the measures and principles of politics.

So I advice the constitution that there should be a age of retirement. But there should be some post in the government "the elderly advisory council".

According to me, there should not be complete retirement from politics on the basis of age. Because, it takes time to learn for freshers in politics. So, the experience acquired by our senior politicians should not be wasted.

So, I think there should be a role of senior advisor before the retirement from politics.

My view,

Joining politics (age>21).
In politics and serving for nation (<60).
Senior Advisor for newbies (60<age<65).
Retirement (age>65).

Hello everyone,

According to my point of view, politicians must have a retirement age so that the youth will fetch an opportunity to exhibit their talents of making right choices for the development of our country. There are only few politicians who think and work for the improvement of our nation while others are corrupted. May be the youth can make a difference in improving the present condition of our nation. Of course they do need advice from experienced people.

According to me like in other sectors there should also be the retirement age in politics because we should also give chance to the youngsters as they are the future of the country and able to make good policies according to its new thinking.

In country like India where there are huge %of youngsters there should be a good young politicians who can easily understand the problem of the youth. So according to me there should be the retirement age for politicians.

Hi everyone,

I think there should be no age for the retirement of politician. Retirement should be on the basis of ability. If one can perform well in the later age of his life why should not we give him a chance. If a old age person is able to think as a youngster, able to bring new ideas, new schemes for welfare we should take advantage of him. If someone is at old age that doesn't mean that he will perform bad as compared to younger politician.

Yes, according to my way politician should be retired after 65 years of age because in India much more youths are wanted to join for developing our country. And they are aggressive against corruption.

Yes in the politician experience is required but particular after age mind is to be migrated and experience for youth they have to combine working with politician and after that the experienced politician place is to taken by youth.

Thank you.

Hello, friends. I think that having a fixed retirement age is not desirable because a better-experienced one is not prone to make mistakes in making decisions regarding the country's development. Though it does not give the new ones to take participate then also it helps on the country's advancement. And not giving the opportunities to new ones, does not harm the system, then not having a fixed age for retirement is worth full.

THANKYOU.

In all fields, besides politics and business, there should be a retirement age. But in case of politics experience matters. Because with the increment in age you are going to gain experience and with the help of experience you could do better than any other young blood experience is like an entropy which always increases with time. So, if experience has no age to be gained then I must say there should be no retirement age for politician.

There should not be any age limit to the retirement age of politicians as the amount of experience they have can be put to good use and can act as advisers to the decision making unit.

At the same time young talent should also be considered and promoted. As we are having a major part of our population as youngsters, having the right combination of young blood and experienced lot would serve as a great tool towards national growth.

Hi everyone.

I firmly believe that lowly educated people or people who lack the presence of mind should never be allowed to contest in the elections, and yes age age limit is a must. Today as we gear up for bigger role in world economy, we cannot leave the reins of our country in a government filled with people who are old, incompetent and cannot take smart decisions. Having said that, how can we, the common people make it happen?
