There is an article in the economist by ex UK minister and neurologist which makes a good case for nobody being elected to office if they are over 70.
I look on with horror at the threatened US election.
Now Biden's "infirmity '' is exaggerated and overall his administration hasn't done too badly.
Trump is a dangerous sociopath .
But even if both dont have significant cognitive decline [ although I think both are starting to show signs of it] , what about next year , or the year after?

On the general principle of 70 year olds , have to agree .
Always a significant risk that someone is not the full quid, or soon wont be.
Why take that risk when there are plenty of younger people around to fulfil the role?
We retire our judges at 70 , our pollies should be the same.

They can always be kept around in an advisory role , if you dont wish to lose their experience.
But , frankly , that ''experience'' is often overated.
cheers

Hi boomeronrations.

The difference is that JB doesn’t run the show.
He is a puppet and has the strings manipulated by the puppet masters.
He speaks fluent garble and doesn’t even make sense to his own people, imo.
