Agree

No, I would prefer term limits instead

Slightly agree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

Disagree

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

While ensuring mental competency of politicians is important, the idea of mandatory testing for all ages might be seen as excessive government control, which goes against libertarian principles of minimal state intervention.

Disagree

Yes

Libertarianism generally emphasizes minimal government intervention in personal lives, including the careers of politicians. Mandating mental competency tests for politicians over a certain age could be seen as an unnecessary government overreach.

Strongly disagree

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

Banning individuals over the age of retirement from running for office would be seen as a significant government restriction on personal freedom, which is strongly opposed by libertarian ideology.
