Strongly agree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

Agree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

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 EPP might see some merit in term limits as a way to refresh political leadership and prevent stagnation, it is not a central policy of the party, and their support would likely be cautious and conditional.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP), being a center-right political group, generally supports traditional values and might view mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 as unnecessary and potentially disrespectful to senior politicians who have served long and effectively. There is no specific historical reference to the EPP advocating for such measures.

Disagree

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

While the EPP supports competency in office, mandating mental competency tests for politicians of any age could be seen as overly intrusive and against the principles of personal freedom and dignity, values that are typically upheld by center-right parties.

Strongly disagree

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

Banning politicians over the age of retirement from running for office would likely be opposed by the EPP, as it directly contradicts the value placed on experience and the contributions senior politicians can make, as well as potentially infringing on democratic principles.
