I kind of agree but if you work outside of your local area then you can't just pop down to the polling station on your break.

One woman said she had been back ten times and the queue's were massive all day.

I agree, if these people don't get to cast their vote then hopefully it will show everyone what a mockery the whole thing is.
This could be the tipping point for the two horse race but I doubt it...

Another article on this story.
www.guardian.co.uk...

Interesting bit at the end of the article:


In Lewisham, two polling stations remained open after 10pm to allow voters to cast their ballots. A council spokesman insisted that those voters had been issued ballot papers before the 10pm deadline.


That is what all of the polling stations should have done.

Indeed, I find this very reminiscent of Bush's second term.

We all know this stinks of trouble.



I seriously hope people will make a stand about this but as I said earlier...
I doubt it.

If you English don't absolulety threaten to tear down Parliament brick by brick you can kiss any illusion of democratic representation goodbye. Once those electronic voting machines get it it's over.
After all the suffering of WW2 to defeat fascism it just comes waltzing in to Mother England wearing three-piece suits. How truly sad..
Where are all the bulldogs!!? Where are the insane Englishmen when you need them?
