> Mr Rinne stepped down after a plan to cut wages for hundreds of postal workers led to widespread strikes great to see a politician actually facing consequences for their actions
Congratulations to her but it seems like age is seen as less of a factor in these countries. From an outside perspective, the Nordic countries have a very by the book form of government. Meaning the government/prime minister isn’t the result of the hopes and dreams of the constituents but more of how do we get things done with the least amount of turmoil. Kind of like how your local city government is run, where thin…
That seems insanely young. I'm in my mid-40s and don't feel like I have enough life experience to run a neighborhood, much less a country.

Having a person lead a country that will have to live for a longer time with their decisions doesn't strike me as bad.
Through the history, there were lots of young leaders and I don't think that age had much to with how successful they were.

60~70 yo people also don’t have nearly enough knowledge and/or wisdom to operate at that scale, and if we’re speaking about impacting the lives of millions of people the difference between 34 and 70 is marginal I think. It should all come down to the system they operate in and how they use it, at the end of the day.
