If the vote is a NO vote will the voting age then go back up to 18 again, that is unless the rest of the UK also lower it.
We hear daily on the news and other media that employers are concerned that children leaving school are not coming to the work place equiped with basic skills such as reading and writing. Salmond and his mates are using these young people for his own ends here.
Me if I was at school these days likely as not I would be in special needs.
correct - 16 year old will get a vote for this (im not sure if they will be allowed to vote in general elections etc. after this, or they have been allowed to vote for this vote only)
