Should we have Age Limit or Retirement for Politicians?
According to my point of view there should be an age limit. In our country every field have some retirement age, but in politics no such age limit is there. Generally it has been seen that at the age of 55-60 a person becomes lazy and many health problems engulfs.At that span of time he loses his capability to think more effectively. As we know politicians are very crucial and important part of our country. So politicians should have retirement age.
Old is gold,is this true for politics so far?
I feel it is good to give youth more opportunities because they are full of ideas and are energetic to their tasks. Youth are full of passion and they have capability to work with zeal and confidence. They are fresh minded and can take right decision. The decision taken by young person is dynamic. If there willbe age limit then young generation will get chance to prove themselves. Now a day’s more than 90 % of Indian politicians are above 60. Just because there is no age limit, a politician continues to do his job until he is alive. I know they have experience but after a certain age limit they are not able to work so effectively which automatically lowers the development of our country. Due to lack of job opportunities many youngsters are going to foreign countries for higher education or in seek of good job. Youth should be given opportunity in politics. If there will be age limit of 60 years for politicians and they won’t be allowed to work beyond this age many of the young people will get chance to work and do some good steps to improve our nation . So that there may be chance of change in corrupted politics and make our country corruption free and developed. Politicians would need to retire notonly because they are physically unable to cope with the rigors of this demanding career, but because they feel that they have done a bit for the country. So I suggest that the age limit should be restricted up to age of 60.

Yes, thesre is vary haribally need for Retirement age for politision. becoze tha need for that to make india to new india. Tha age ration of Retirement will be 55-60 yr. so if they will retire thare will new person or Young person will take palace of his/her post, if there will young people These thinking like a YOUNG that is responsibal for tha New Grothing People or COUNTRY,. there we can se there old age people wo are tha Do work vary honestly in tha young time and as thay are old they think taht thay are evert thing and they will COURPT… That are responsibal for curraption.. and these people not do any work if at tha place of these old politation tha YOUNG people will do work and he will nit may be courrapt. So to See tha Responsibality and Corrpatuion tha Age Of Retirement will Deside. Now If we see that there is any Old Polition THese thinking Will Be old and After tha age of 60 cross tha mind will be work slow in many cases tha scientest hane prove that. So tha age will be deside and that Will be “55-60″/..
youth politicians are also crushed by some politicians.
corruption in India also are in its full speed so there is need to change the entire structure of politics. Educated people understand more about the development and ways to develop our country so i think retirement of politicians should be a part of our system.
foresure, there is certain age limit for politicians because if we want a retirement age for them it means we want youngster in this field and we all know that youngster have great enthusisam and ability to something new There must be some sort of such things so that we can restrict the future of the country in the new hands that have emerged out with new ideas and talent.so my thinking is that there should be something that youngsters like us will get some chance to get into politics and with their curiosity and dynamic thoughts they can put INDIA forward .today as we can seen the corruption full enviornment in indian poltics so young generation can control quite better than the the older …..sO there should be certainly age limit upto 60,which can provide better hand to indian demostration!!!!!
according to me,age limit is a very important par for all the politician who handle our entire nation.i agree for your statement that most of the politician should cross the age limit.and the age limit is about 55-60 is not so far to take decisions or growth our country.there should be a less opportunity for a younger who didn’t take part in this field.for a dynamic decisions,we should have a smart minded person who can take decisions very early and have a power to handle other things also. a age limit for politicians played a crucial role to role-up their thoughts to take decisions smartly.so age limit must be there for our corrupted nation,that a retirement should be given for those who cross there age limit.
young person which is full of energy,strong and fresh minded who can handle the entire nation,who can take smart decisions for remove corruption and other facing problems to growth or increase the level of our country.so reqired young leaders who can lead our nation.
Yes ‘I totally agree that, a politician has to have a retirement age, because politicians are very crucial and imperative towards the country. Generally after the age of 50 a person becomes lazy, inculcates many health problems and as they loose there capability to think more effectively and work more positively. And I thing that it is good to give youths more opportunities than giving an aged person because youths are full of ideas and are energetic in their task.
So politicians should have retirement age of nearly 60 -65yrs of age!
yeah i am agree to this point because requirement of age limit is necessary….due to age limit opportunities will go on younster’s hand….youngster’s have new ideas,new thoughts etc as well as modern thinking because at some level youngster’s provide some modern ideas in this field….main point is if youngster’s have right to vote then y they don’t have right to join politics….
ths is because of no age limit criteria…..age limit for politicians is necessary…..!!!
thanku n this is very impressive post for discussion….
Age limit for politicians is now a demand of our nation. Some politicians rule country not only for decades or their life time but for generations. There is no retirement in politics so rich politicians pass on their empire to their non deserving children. if there will be retirement then there will be race among new generation to take a part in it, to be part of our government. Youngster can give their new ideas to the experienced one and if they get appreciation our government will be a blend of new innovative ideas and experience both.
There should be a age limit for politician. In india there are no age limit in this field that is a big loss for india because of that reason young generation not get there job opportunity in this field.Youngster’s have new idea’s,new thought which gave a new height of that field in india and if age limit in this field then it gave the job opportunity to people and change are necessary for success in every field…..
Ya, according to different point of views we can take this topic.
I think age limit is not the point which make our politicians strong. If they are able to listen what people are saying then there is no problem what the age of that politician.
According to me age should be allowed but people should be aware. They should not support a illegal i.e. a criminal person. They should not support genericity i.e. in past father was M.L.A. or M.P. and now his son is same.
No,according to me the age limit should not be the primary thing but the thing is that i thought that “is the politicians are right to handle the government or not,or the politician that the people select is right regarding the human welfare.”Age limit doen’t matter if there is a law is coming in the market that,”those who done well,who remain”,if this law may be granted then it will surely effect on the country’s behaviour.
The politicians may be appointed for the country welfare so age limit make a right choice but appointing a correct person is the essential requirement.
Yes,i totally agree with the above age limit idea.We sholud give opportunity to young people as they are enthusiastic and energetic with new ideas and most propbably they are innovative too. Old people are not good enough,as if they would have been then our country would have been changed from developing country to developed country,we lack in many fields from other countries. Old politicians are tired of doing the same thing again and again but still they will not leave politics as the power of leader and corruption money stop them from doing so. So,we shold have age limit for politicians to give chances to our new generation and to develop our country from their ideas.
There should be an age limit for the politicians. The age limit should be of 60-65 years. Thats the truth that in every field country wants young generation and young generation is doing well for country. This is also true that after 60 years people become lazy and have health related issues. At that time they are not able to run country. So there is a need of age limit.
yes i think there is an age limit of retirement in our politics..because by doing that we can change the complete environment of the society and the country by introducing new and fresh minds by replacing the old ones who doesn’t able to change any sort of problems because due to the lack of there will power to do something for the change and have a lot of laziness amongst them..so having an age limit in politics in a necessary thing if we have to make some new and drastic changes in this society and hence can improve our entire system..
No there is no need of any age limit on the retirement for politicians,
because if u think that the young generation can only change the country… then it is in your hand that who will be the leader of the nation of state
there should be some aged peoples who have a straight forward n effective thinking of politics so they can handle the nation better then the young people who have less leadership
so the age limits cant do anything, all is in our hand that whom we choose for the leadership.
ACCORDING TO MY POINT OF VIEW AGE IS NOT RELATED WITH RETIREMENT BECAUSE A PERSON OF AGE 65 DOING GOOD WITH COMPARE TO A PERSON OF AGE 25 THEN WHO HAS TO BE NEED TO RETIRE ?
THIS IS OTHER THING THAT AFTER A PARTICULAR AGE A PERSON BECOME SLOW BUT IF HE IS SHOWING ITS POTENTIAL THEN HE HAS THE IDEA ,WHEN HE HAS TO RETIRE
age doesn’t metters for any one. according to me the politicians are the main parts of our country. if any age
limit is there then how there experience will be useful for us. if we will take the example of mr atal bihari vajpayi and mr narendra modi they gave and giving there best in the age of 70s. so there retierment should be based on there workability not on there age. and if we want young generation to work in politics then the aged politicians should be there to direct them.
yes i am completly agree with the age limit for the retirement of the politicians.we want some younger mind or new generation in our parliament.not the old ones they dont know how to keep process in the parliament.and old politicians should take rest.because these days are for their rest not for to take decisions that what is right for the country and what is wrong.and some old politicians are good i know,but i dont know what is the use of uneducated peoples in our parliament.and we all know the big names of some uneducated politicians.so definetly there should have age limit for the politicians.
age limits are for new ideas from new generation …our nation have also need some experience….so some time its good bt not for all time
young generation is most important for politics,because if this happen than only the young member are able to take responsibility of the country in their hands. 🙂
In every field we had an retirement ,a politician has to have a
retirement age,because politicians are very crucial and imperative towards country.Generally after the age of 60-65 a person becomes lazy and suffer from health problems and as they loose there capability to think more effectively and work positively.And i think a young politician would always be active and are full of new innovative ideas.
we should have retirement for politicians also because every thing in this world has expiry date so why not politicians. if aged people are not retired then how can youth involve in politics. In India most of the people have mentality to crush another one and go ahead so youth politicians are also crushed by some politicians.
corruption in India also are in its full speed so there is need to change the entire structure of politics. Educated people understand more about the development and ways to develop our country so i think retirement of politicians should be a part of our system.
Yes,there should be a certain age slap for retirement our politicians.
Because due to age factor the work efficiency is decreases which is proven by scientifically studies.
Yes, we have some exceptional cases, but we not consider this on masses. So,we should have our political system similar like corporate world Because although politician also a civil servant.
There are in every field a specific age limit is declared ,but in politics more than 80 percent politicians are above 60 age. there should be a age limit of politicians because of the after the 60 year most of them not properly take good decisions, so by retiring these there should give chance for young leaders. thinking of old age leaders is according to their generation but this time is of modern technology so it is required to make decisions by keeping in mind about present time requirements.not all old age politicians are not capable to make good decisions but most of them are. At this time if any one got a chance then it want to always in politics they not want to give chance to any more,this is not right .there is required to come young leaders for lead our nation.
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A AGE LIMIT ABOUT 50-60 YEARS FOR THE RETIREMENT IN POLITICS.BECAUSE IN EVERY JOB THERE IS A PROVISION OF RETIREMENT WHEN THAT PARTICULAR ORGANISATION FEEL THAT THIS PERSON IS NO MORE SUITABLE FOR THAT JOB DUE TO PROBLEMS RELATED TO HIS/HER AGE.SO WHY NOT SO IN POLITICS ……POLTICIANS ALSO DO JOB AS A REPRESENTATIVES OF PEOPLE IN GOVERMENT…..SO THERE SHOULD BE APROVISION OF THEIR RETIREMENT AFTER A CERTAIN PARTICULAR AGE……..BECAUSE AT THE AGE ABOVE 50 PEOPLE DON’T POSSES MUCH ACTIVESS,AND THINKING ABILTY TOWARDS THEIR WORK…….SO AT THIS AGE THEY SHOULD BE RETIRE……BECAUSE POLITICIANS DO THE MOST RESPONSIBLE JOB THAT ALL THE FUTURE ASPECTS OF OUR COUTRY DEPEND ON THEIR WAY OF WORKING…….SO YOUNGSTERS SHOULD BE GET A CHANCE BECAUSE YOUTH HAVE NEW INNOVATIVE IDEAS,STRONG WILL POWER,ACTIVENESS TOWARDS THEIR WORK ……SO THEY ARE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR THE POTICIAN JOB………..THERE ARE CURRENTLY SO MANY POLITICIANS IN OUR COUNTRY WHO HAS CROSSED THE AGE OF 60 AND THEY ARE STILL IN GOVERMENT………SO THERE SHOULD BE A PROVISION OF RETIREMENT OR MAY BE AGE LIMIT FOR POTICS…….
NO. ACCORDING TO MY POINT OF VIEW, THERE SHOULD NOT BE AGE LIMIT IN POLITICS, BECAUSE WHEN AGE IS INCREASE THEN THE EXPERIENCE AND DESISIONS CAPABILITY IS ALSO INCREASE.
AND THEY DESIDE THAT WHAT PROJECT IS SUITABLE FOR OUR COUNTRY OR SOCEITY . SO THERE SHOULD NOT AGE LIMITS IN POLITICS. LOWER AGE SHOULD BE LIMITED.
