Ok, I hate to admit it, but I was just watching the Alex Jones show on FTA satellite TV.
The host of the last hour said a few minutes ago that Exit Polls for the 'Brexit vote' have been banned.
(All the better to steal the election and keep them in the EU.)
I have no idea if this is true, and a quick internet search turned up nothing to confirm or to disprove this rumor.
I was asking a question, hoping to find the truth, not circulating a goofy conspiracy.
It never fails that some smug know-it-all comes into a thread to make a snide remark about an honest question.
Paging Winston and Julia. It is now 8:24 pm in the UK. When do the polls close?
If there were any polls they couldn’t be released before closing of voting places. No one does them this time as no one trusts accuracy.
Polls close in 35 minutes. 5 pm EDT, 2 pm PDT
So is it like the US where 99% of the precincts report instantly, but if it is close then the last precinct has to figure out how to get the vote count for the prefered candidate (D), then if they still cant quite get it, they can get it within the recount threshold where with each successive recount the preferred candidate (D) some manages to narrow the lead each time until the 4th recound puts the prefered candidate 10 votes ahead at which point the recounts are ended and the will of the people is proclaimed?
One of the reasons for the close outcome of the Presidential election in Florida in 2000 was that the outcome was called based on the polls closing in the Eastern Time Zone.
But, the Florida Panhandle is in the Central Time Zone, and is much more conservative than the rest of the state. A lot of people literally got out of line and went home, not realizing they could determine the outcome of the Presidential election.
Polls close at 10:00 PM (22:00) their time (GMT ... the global reference time courtesy of the Royal Society, HM Navy, and the Empire), or 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time in the USA.
IMO, Presidential election results should never be released at least until California polls are closed. Too much chance for those on the west coast to pack the ballot boxes.
They are not banned. They are taken but they cannot be reported upon until all of the polls have closed. Just like voter turn out cannot be reported upon until the polls close.
Just remember Alex can take anything and turn it into a hair on fire screaming disaster
Wow! And I thought we had it rough as poll workers in Pennsylvania. Polls open here from 7 am to 8 pm. We have to start setup by 6 am and stay until all voters in line by 8 pm have voted and results tabulated.
Oops! I wasn’t actually talking about your post. More about the usual “the fix is in” and ballots are being erased stuff.
They are going through the same sloughs of despair (as the Bard would put it) as we are. They are fighting the iron grip of British marxism/socialism/globalism as are we.
God Save this Sceptr'd Isle...and us, too.

Whats not being reported is the terrible weather in the southern portion of England (read London). Many are suggesting that the “Leave” folks will walk over broken glass to vote to leave. Interesting times we live in...
I noticed the other day the Queen asked ‘her’ people what they thought London should do....hmmmm
I'm outta here for a while.
Will check back in here in a few hours
I think I see the problem....
YouGov.com will release their exit poll in about an hour...after polls close.
However, the lack of exit polls is because nobody believe they have an accurate extrapolation model and the big networks/papers have decided not to invest in exit polls they tell them nothing.
Yougov's poll is to verify people voted the way they said they would 2 days ago in their previous poll.
News blackout until the polls close (5PM ET).
Well, with Cameron closing the voting early, due to rain....in Britain!!!!....I would not be surprised.
The globalists are not going to go without a fight.
