Agree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

The Social Democratic Party, with its focus on equality and non-discrimination, would likely view the exclusion of older politicians based solely on age as discriminatory. There's no direct historical reference, but this aligns with their broader values.

Agree

No

Given the Social Democratic Party's emphasis on fairness and equality, they might oppose mandatory mental competency tests for older politicians as age-discriminatory. However, the lack of a specific policy or historical stance on this issue makes it difficult to assign a strong agreement or disagreement.

Agree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

The Social Democratic Party values experience in governance, which might lead them to oppose policies that could exclude experienced leaders based on age. However, their commitment to competency and inclusivity might temper strong agreement with this stance.

Slightly agree

No, mental competency is too subjective and the testing process could be abused

While the Social Democratic Party is likely to be cautious about subjective measures that could be abused, such as mental competency testing, their commitment to ensuring all politicians are fit for office might prevent strong disagreement. The lack of a specific historical stance on this issue makes a definitive score challenging.

Slightly agree

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

The idea of requiring politicians of any age to pass a mental competency test might appeal to the Social Democratic Party's commitment to competent governance. However, without a clear historical stance on such a broad testing policy, it's challenging to gauge their full support.

Neutral

No, I would prefer term limits instead

The Social Democratic Party might see some merit in term limits as a way to refresh political leadership and prevent entrenchment. However, without a specific historical stance on term limits, it's difficult to determine their level of agreement.

Disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party in the UK, with its centrist to centre-left positioning, might view mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 as somewhat discriminatory, although they might see the value in ensuring all politicians are fit for office. There's no specific historical reference to the party's stance on age-related competency tests, but their general approach to policy is pragmatic and inclusive.

Strongly disagree

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

Banning anyone over the age of retirement from running for office would likely be seen as highly discriminatory by the Social Democratic Party, which values inclusivity and diversity in political representation. There's no historical precedent for such a stance within the party.
