In many countries people usually retires after the age of 60. It means governments, business houses etc. don't find old people capable of doing hard work and maintain accuracy. But in politics, so many old politicians head the country. They are in the key position, despite of having memory loss, deterioration of physical and mental health and becoming irrational.

If old people are not fit for working in factories, offices and businesses, then how old people are considered fit for running the whole country? It means either capable and experienced people are retired unnecessarily from work or experienced but incapable and unhealthy people are forcibly given power so that shrewd and unscrupulous people may easily exploit their condition.

Even politician don't get retire after crossing 80 years of age. This is ridiculous. It also infer that the people who elect them are not wise and prudent, otherwise they would not have selected those people who have memory loss, reduced physical and mental capacities and highly irritable.

What do you think?

The point is precisely this, people sell their votes or exchange them for food, Eternit tiles, etc., they do NOT care what the candidates propose, a very real case is Colombia, its presiden ex-paramilitary, a murderer and everyone knows it even in his profile before choosing him, an arrogant and stupid man, every time he opens his mouth he says nonsense, and this country sinks more and more, the guilty ones are those who elect him.
