Slightly disagree

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

Disagree

Yes

New Democracy, as a center-right political party, generally supports traditional values and might view mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 as unnecessary and potentially disrespectful to senior politicians. However, they might not be entirely opposed to the idea if it was framed as ensuring the effectiveness of government officials.

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

This proposal would likely be strongly opposed by New Democracy, as it directly contradicts the value they place on experience and the contributions of senior politicians. They might view such a ban as discriminatory and detrimental to the political system.
