HAB to frustrated voter: "There, there. Don't worry, another one will come along shortly. You'll have another chance then."
* actually, I don't
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
some slimey mf lawyer has been saying they should sue as it is a contravention of human rights (or something)
He reckons they would get about £750 each - wonder how much the bloodsucking leechy lawyers would get for representing them.
and apparently there were a number of reason why people could not vote - some down to incompetence on the organisation side and some down to people turning up to late or going early seeing the queue and then going back.
bit of a feck up but not going to change the result.
The law on closing times or the right of the citizens to vote on who makes the law?
I agree with them - allowing illegal votes would cause far more problems and render the whole election null. A few people not being able to vote is a stupid error, but nothing more... of course it is terribly embarrassing but local authorities can't take matters into their own hands and ignore the law.
No sympathies really. The polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm which is a lot longer than they are in other countries. No excuses really for getting there in time to vote. Someone does need to look into how the stations are staffed but usually four people should be enough to handle anything but a mob.
