Cameron Government using Rain as Excuse to Close Polls Early

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?

The national railway in the UK was suggesting people go home early from work today because of bad weather.

That may have put more people home early to vote......

widespread flooding

[Jane Long]

Amen.

Closing the polls due to rain??? In England??? Geez.

[TEXOKIE]

Now there’s some interesting data. That perhaps changes the picture....I just wonder, though, how populous those particular flooded areas are...

[TEXOKIE]

I love that!

Brits are not used to rain. /s

This is the poster child for why people should vote online.

Looks like these two stations were closed for excellent reasons. In each case the polling was moved to reserve locations.

This heavy rain should tend to help the BREXIT cause, as BREXIT voters tend to be more impassioned and more likely to wait in the rain. Also it’s raining more in the Bremain-leaning areas.

BTW, I would like to thank all of you FReepers who have been praying for a BREXIT win. Please of your charity continue to do this.

Dumb, dumb, dumb da dumb bum

It happens to rain often in the UK....the folks are a hearty lot and rain hardly fazes them at all.
Cameron's closing the polls early is pure political horsesh!t and he knows it.
Now, if there was a hurricane bearing down on the country with winds of 135kts or so, The Scots would probably consider not playing golf in those conditions. But closing the polls? Cameron, your are the biggest loser in the UK!
I pray that the “Leaves” out number the “Remains” 2 to 1.
Funny that “remains” will be all that is left of the UK if they do remain.

Where “Ducky” is a term of endearment.

I think it’s more the working class that support the brexit, so by closing early, they’re cutting out anyone that actually had to work today.

[agere_contra]

They’re not closing the polls early.

The headline is false.

[TEXOKIE]

Even better news! Thanks!!

[TEXOKIE]

Agere_contra, in the midst of the rain, you ARE a ray of sunshine!

So many over here are actually holding vigil. England MUST be free!
