Voters reported confusion with the process for participation in the elections, failings by local councils, and names being crossed off voting lists at polling stations. Hours after the polls opened, the hashtag #DeniedMyVote began to trend on Twitter as European nationals began reporting they had been turned away.

British lawmakers vow to reject Theresa May’s ‘one last chance’ for Brexit dealTheresa May urged lawmakers to seize “one last chance” to approve a deal for Britain to leave the European Union, after they rejected her Brexit deal three times. David Cameron was advised not to hold that referendum, but he did and divided the UK. The people have been treated to bad theater of posturing and hair-splitting over BREXIT. Argument over this bad idea has reached a point beyond good sense. Foolish It’s a good thing for the UK to get out of the EU, it’s a giant globalist scam and I predict the EU will dissolve in a decade.
