Retirement Age for Politicians

Hi every one,

We know the proverb in English, even all the languages. "Experience makes man perfect", it will applicable in all the field. Even the younger generations are very advance in technology but they can't take accurate decisions in all the situations,

Hence, we require both Seniors and Younger to lead the country, for e.g in a family most of the decisions are are taken by the father, to attain the goal with the co-operation of entire family (younger son, daughter etc) same applicable in politics also.

Hence, age limits are not barrier for politicians at the same time the chances are should be given to the youth like us. Guys are agree with me right?

Since the politicians are people's representative let the voters decide their career. In my opinion if they are discarded by the voters once after the age 60, they must retire from the politics.

Hi Friends,

When you are in Government Job you have a retirement age. But when you are a politician you don't have any retirement age. Why?

Hi everyone, in my opinion, I don't think that the age limit should be imposed on politicians because:

1. Age cannot be criterion for judging someone's working ability.

2. We need experienced people to understand and take some crucial decisions in favor of the mass.

But also we need youth to enter in the politics because:

1. India having the largest youth population (around 326 millions people in the age GRP of 10 to 24) needs more enthusiastic and energetic minds to represent them which can implement innovative ideas for better future.

2. Sometimes it happens that with the same person getting elected again n again some issues do not get resolved because of the same approach/mindset towards those problems and hence we need someone with fresh approach.

3. Old seats need to be vacated for giving chance to young aspiring minds.

But since we want both energy and experience in our system, this is what I propose: We can have age limit at the lower levels like MLA's and Ward members etc. Where people elected can be youth and they can act as the bridge to fill the gap between the mass and aged politicians at the MP level.

This way, these young people can get experience working at lower level under the supervision of these aged politicians and later on they can get promoted to that level which usually happens.

Hello everyone,

In my point of view age is not the factor by which you can judge the ability of the candidate, we have seen many example in our daily life that a 10th std. Student invent a new technology, while lot of engineers are not capable to do a simple thing.

So, according to me the creativity of mind depends on person not their age, we need a leader for the development of our country, and he must have potential to do new thing for the nation. Doesn't matter what age of he is.

Yes the age limit should be there for the politicians so that our youth who are interested in politics get an opportunity to participate in elections and also if a good participant gets elected he could apply his ideas to eliminate the bad myths of our society.

Hi friends,

An aged politician can be more knowledgeable but look at the other part of his physical strengths which is also equally important, an aged politician cannot show up enthusiasm. In country like India people always wish their leader to be enthusiastic, dynamic, physically and mentally fit. So in nut shell to say retirement slab for politicians is a healthy move.

But along with that we also need great energy and positive spirit which youngsters have. So, in my opinion the ruling body or cabinet should also have a reservation for young leaders making it a combination of experience and energy.

Hello everyone,

According to me, the politicians are one of the important asset for a country. The thing that we expect from the politicians is good decision making capability in favor of the country.

The most important thing for this is his diplomatic and political knowledge and experience. To become a decision maker, takes a lot of time. So, I support that there should be no age limit for politicians.

Most of the politicians are corrupted they store money to there swiz account anonymously so the retirement criteria provide the break between the corruption which further help in the development of the country with the help of this the government rule and regulation are settled very well.

This is very good topic. According to me age limit of politician is 100% correct most of politician corrupted so age limit very important. So younger politician are come soon so progress the nation and also growth of nation.

Thank you.
