Is there a lawyer in the house?

I have a few questions for those lawyer types.

At present you can only stand for election when you reach the age of 21 but recently the government has passed the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees, trainees or job seekers because of their age and ensure that all workers, regardless of age, have the same rights in terms of training and promotion.

Technically someone running to be an elected official is a job seeker so therefore if someone who was running to be an elected official was under 21 and they were banned from running it would surely mean that is illegal and that person under the age of 21 can sue the government?

Does anyone know if the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations nullifies the law on the age of candidates at elections? If not, why not?
