I personally feel if anything the voting age should be 15 for Girls and 18
or higher for boys. It has been my experience that girls are far more
sensible at a young age. OK some do attempt the ladette life style but a lot
of that is an act to be able to be including in social events etc.

And its obvious that that never happens with some.
We should therefore raise the voting age to that level.

Nope.
Military service is different: obedience is valued over thoughtfulness.

That isnt the reason that the military has always used young kids.
They really do believe that nothing can kill them.
With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than obedience, should
yield better outcomes.

That would only be true if there is much to
think about and the facts to do that about.
No real evidence of that with politics, particularly with complex issues
like brexit or socialism or the welfare state.
Politics has always been much more about gut feelings and charisma etc.
