Slightly agree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

Slightly agree

Yes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test

While ALDE supports comprehensive measures to ensure the competency of politicians, the party's commitment to non-discrimination and liberal values might make them cautious about mandatory mental competency tests for politicians of any age, due to concerns about fairness and privacy.

Neutral

No, I would prefer term limits instead

While ALDE might see the value in term limits as a way to refresh political representation and prevent entrenchment, the party's policies and historical positions do not strongly indicate a clear stance on this issue as a preferred alternative to mental competency tests.

Disagree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally promotes liberal values, including non-discrimination and equal opportunities for all, regardless of age. Requiring politicians over 75 to pass a mental competency test could be seen as discriminatory and against these principles.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office

Banning anyone over the age of retirement from running for office would likely be seen by ALDE as overly restrictive and discriminatory, conflicting with liberal values of inclusivity and the right to participate in public life regardless of age.
