My view exactly. If it's that important to people that they have to kick up a fuss when the stations close, why can't they get off their backsides and get down there early or vote by post.
Working for local government, it was some of my colleagues manning the stations and having to put up with this kind of rubbish from the general public.
Same old, lazy people kicking up a fuss and shifting the blame onto someone else. Pretty much the problem with this country as a whole!!!

So do I. Doesn't then take two and a half hours to get to the polling station.

I work for a council and understand the queues were caused by loads of people not bringing their poll cards.

We havnt had a chance to vote on most of the major changes to our country in the last few years anyway so its all a bit irrelevant voting now.

[quote="Tony"]Running out of ballot papers is pretty embarrasing. But not as embarrasing as when I ran out of toilet paper in my hotel room recently and had to phone reception for some more. I'm sure the receptionist found it hilarious....
