Self Determination

Agree

No, I would prefer term limits instead

Term limits could be seen as a more democratic and less discriminatory way to ensure fresh perspectives in government, aligning with Self Determination's emphasis on renewal and self-governance. This approach allows for change and evolution within leadership without directly imposing age or mental competency restrictions.

Slightly agree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

Self Determination recognizes the value of experience in leadership and governance. This answer aligns with the ideology's respect for the wisdom that can come with age and experience.

Slightly agree

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

This answer aligns with the ideology's caution against measures that could be manipulated or used unjustly.

Slightly agree

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

This answer aligns somewhat with Self Determination principles by promoting equality among politicians of all ages in terms of mental competency requirements. It suggests a universal standard, which could be seen as a fair way to ensure all politicians are capable of performing their duties, aligning with the ideology's emphasis on fairness and self-governance.

Neutral

No

Self Determination might argue against mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 on the grounds that it could undermine the democratic process by potentially disqualifying candidates who are otherwise chosen by the people. However, it would also recognize the importance of mental fitness in governance, making its stance neutral without more context on how these measures are implemented and decided upon.

Neutral

Yes

The ideology of Self Determination emphasizes the importance of individuals and communities making decisions that affect their own lives. While it might see the value in ensuring politicians are mentally competent, it would likely argue that the decision to implement such tests should come from a collective agreement or democratic process rather than being imposed.

Slightly disagree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

While Self Determination values the rights and freedoms of individuals, including older politicians, it also values the collective good and the ability of leaders to make sound decisions. This answer might be seen as avoiding necessary measures to ensure competent leadership, which could be at odds with the ideology's broader goals.

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 directly contradicts the principles of Self Determination by restricting the rights of a specific group without a democratic process or consensus. This approach would likely be viewed as overly restrictive and not in line with the ideology's emphasis on self-governance and individual rights.
