28 Answers
Polling stations were closed whilst voters were still queuing to cast their votes in Warrington, Chester, Lewisham, Sheffield amd others. Does this mean that the result will be open to a legal challenge?

They may well try a legal challenge but it will be pretty pointless.
Polls are open from 7am until 10pm. If you get a surge of people turning up at 9.30pm, you cannot suddenly keep the doors open until they have finished.
Party politics aside, people should be organised enough to vote within the 15 hours. Most reports said that it would be a massive turnout.
Chances are there will be another election in the Autumn anyway

This. You can't just swarm to the polling station half an hour before it closes. It's not like they're open a short time - they're open for quite a long time.

Dr Filth - would you like 10 booths? 20? 50?
Would you like 10 booths in every single polling station in every single constituency
In my (small) constituency there are 46 polling stations. Multiply that by 650 to get 30,000 polling stations.
Should all of those have had more staff, more booths etc? Should they hire more booths or hire them? Should they be employing temporary staff? How much time should be spent interviewing the staff?
There are around 44 million voters and turnout was probably around 70%. So about 30 million people actually managed to vote.
We are talking about a few hundred who turned up too late, queued and couldn't get to cast their vote.

Lazy sods should have gone and voted earlier.
The people on the News, whingeing about being denied their democratic rights, were not people who had come home late from work.
They were people who couldn't be bothered to get up off their butts earlier in the day.
They were probably in the pub, or the betting shop.

"Polls close at 10.00pm, after this time you vote won't be counted but you may still be charged". Sound familiar?
15 hours to vote. End of story.
All this hoohaa is just another example of the way our society has turned into "me, me me, want want want", and to h*ll with the rules and regulations that have existed for years.
