All the No points:
Immature Choices
Don’t really care
They are still maturing, and have not learned enough yet through education as well as experience to make fully informed decisions.
Turnout
Where to draw the line?
Rights of the 16 year old are not as far reaching as supposed so they do not warrant the vote on the ‘rights’/consistency argument
They deserve to have a say.
Yes because…
If they are now in a responsible stage of their life, they deserve a say on who will decide how their schools will be run through elections!
Yes Because
If a sixteen year old can join the Arm forces, then the right to vote should be allowed.
If the voting age is lowered to 16, then politics could become a GCSE course, meaning they will be fully prepared at an early date, ready for an election if they are 16 for example.

No because…
They have really only just got out to the world and to their ‘responsible stage’. They need some time to know how its run now and if it should be different or be changed. They can’t just vote or it won’t come fair as they may not know how the world is being run by government at this time.
Even if they are able to join the armed forces, its a voluntery job. You do not need a certain responsibility to join the forces. Its to simply serve your country.
Starting a class around this may disrupt education of other important subjects they have/choose to do. Its a whole other section of learning and one which is unnecessary to have on your shoulders at the same time as GCSE time.
