Strongly agree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

Agree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

Agree

No

Given their values on dignity and respect for all individuals, including the elderly, the ECPM might argue against age-based discrimination, suggesting that age alone should not disqualify someone from political service.

Agree

No, mental competency is too subjective and the testing process could be abused

Slightly agree

No, I would prefer term limits instead

While the ECPM might see some merit in term limits as a way to ensure fresh perspectives in politics, their primary focus on age-related issues and respect for the elderly might make this a less preferred option compared to other ways of ensuring effective governance.

Neutral

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

While the ECPM might see the value in ensuring that all politicians are mentally competent, they could be concerned about the implications of mandatory testing for all ages, balancing between the need for competent leadership and the potential for misuse or discrimination.

Disagree

Yes

The European Christian Political Movement (ECPM) focuses on Christian democratic and social values, which often emphasize respect and care for the elderly. They might view a mandatory mental competency test for politicians over 75 as unnecessary and potentially disrespectful, although they might not be entirely opposed to ensuring politicians are fit for office.

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 the ECPM as overly restrictive and discriminatory against older individuals, conflicting with their values of respect and inclusion for people of all ages.
