They say 'there are no saturation points in the ambitions of men'. Indian politicians seem to have voluntarily grabbed the responsibilty to prove the idiom correct. With one foot in the grave, the other stretches towards a political seat of significance. Most of the time their calibre does not match the ambition, forcing them to resort to deceit, lies,thugery and sycophancy to get where they do not belong. Even if there is a popular demand, old foggies in the Parliament will ensure there is no legislation to 'age bar' their filing for the next election. Yes, the politician should also be compulsorily retired at sixty years of age.

I think a person's capability has little to do with her age and therefore dont consider age a factor in the selection of a candidate. I would much rather vote for character, capability and motivations before I consider age.
