      There are usually going to be a relatively high proportion relatively old people in high political positions in virtually any political system, because to develop a political track record and accumulate political capital takes time, and old people have had more time than young people. Sometimes the moment of revolution is lead by “young Turks,” the American revolution is an example of such, but AFAIK that has never continued as a political system matured.
