Talk:Senator for life

message: Currently there are two interpretations regarding the maximum number of senators for life. One interpretation states that each President of the Italian Republic can appoint five senators for life. The other interpretation states that the President of the Italian Republic can appoint up to five senators for life if and only if their number is less than five.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.11.33.147 (talk) 22:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Senators for life number 

message: Presumably 'senator for life' is a translation of the actual title given to someone in Italian. Could somebody include in the article the what a person's title would be as written in Italian. I'm just curious to see what it is, because in English 'senator for life' seems like a rather messy title for a person to have.--Joe 1987 21:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd prefer 'lifetime senator'; anyway, I think it's just a matter of opinion, and I also guess "senator for life" doesn't sound that weird. --Angelo 11:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well the Italian page is at it:Senatore a vita, which doesn't sound any less messy to me. -Wiccan Quagga 06:03, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well no but I suppose to an Italian speaker it might not sound messy. But anyways thanks for adding the translation. I'm not suggesting a renaming of the article or anything here, I just thought it would be beneficial to the article to have the name in Italian too. So thanks.--Joe 1987 12:13, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Where is the UK's section in the list? The Lords are even mentioned in the intro. 91.110.161.79 (talk) 23:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As they aren't "senators", it seems problematic to include them, even though we should mention them in one way or the other. I wouldn't start the introduction with the UK though. -- 签名 sig at  06:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  I would remove mention of the Lords entirely. Although they are legislators, they aren't senators, and they are not an exceptional minority in an otherwise elected body, like other examples. Most obviously, and unlike the former systems of Brazil and Canada, they are a legally distinct class of people with titles, seperately from their membership of the house (however inconsequential their other privilages may be today) and thus partly share characteristics of estates of the realm rather than just those of legislators. 217.155.59.206 (talk) 12:07, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

message: Some countries let senators serve indefinitely after their elections but force them to retire at a certain age, like Canada. Should we include those?

replies: text: We could link mandatory retirement or mention it briefly, but leave it to other articles to develop. -- 签名 sig at  06:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. For now it mentions just Canada, others should be listed too. -- 签名 sig at  06:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
