Do you think that younger politicians could do a better job?

Well in this country most political positions require you to be at least 35 years old. Since most people don't get notable political positions without experience at lower levels, they are typically in their mid 40's before anyone knows who they are. Since most then must spend time in more notable political positions before having a fair shot at the presidency, it's quite rare to have presidential candidates under 50.

I really do believe politicians of a younger age could do a better job. I think they more to do with the present rather than the past. The energy and motivation would also be there compared to older ones. However it could be a disadvantage because you do have more knowledge and wisdom later in life without being as careless.
