Cameron Government using Rain as Excuse to Close Polls Early
armstrong economics ^ | Jun 23, 2016 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 06/23/2016 11:23:38 AM PDT by dontreadthis

The polls in England are closing early due to rain. But most likely, they are told to close because the vote may be against the government. So this may be yet another dirty trick to deny the people any real democratic process. This is more likely than not going to increase civil unrest from here on out. Just stupid. This is the poster child for why people should vote online. But then again, how can government rig the elections if they cannot be in charge of counting the votes?

They probably seeded the clouds, Soviet-style, to keep turnout lower

an umbrella, or a parasol (certainly not a bumbershoot, ha!)

yes indeed.

even the Soviet Union didn’t find it necessary to close the polls to prevent their subjects from voting

From an Enflish FB friend, “Choose love, vote remain? I guess I choose hate.”

Closing polls due to weather probably allows them to reopen then later. Sucks if it’s in a Remain area as it may boost turnout if Leave wins tonight.

So weak, candy-faced cameron is afraid the people want to get out of the oppressive EU which forces them to take millions of muzzies that France doesn’t want.

Rain? In England??? Whoda thunk it? Oh, wait ...

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g' joob goo goo goo g' joob

Some polling stations have been closed due to flooding.

NOT due to mere rain. And only a few polling stations.
