Agree

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

The River Party's general support for transparency, accountability, and modernization in politics might make them more inclined to agree with the idea of mental competency tests for politicians of any age, as it aligns with principles of ensuring capable governance. However, the lack of a specific policy proposal from the party on this matter limits the score.

Slightly agree

Yes

The River Party (To Potami), a centrist and pro-European political party in Greece, might slightly agree with this statement, considering their progressive stance on many issues. However, there is no specific historical reference to the party advocating for mental competency tests for politicians over 75, which makes a strong agreement unlikely.

No, our government needs experienced leaders

Slightly disagree

No

Given The River Party's centrist and somewhat progressive platform, they might slightly disagree with outright rejecting the idea of mental competency tests for older politicians, as they have shown interest in reformative policies. However, without a clear stance from the party on age-related competency, a strong disagreement is not supported.

Slightly disagree

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

While The River Party is likely to be cautious about subjective measures that could be abused, their commitment to accountability and transparency in governance might make them slightly disagree with the notion that mental competency is too subjective to test. They would likely support clear, fair, and scientifically grounded approaches to assessing competency.

Disagree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

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