National Union of Students condemns vote blocking in Sheffield

[TheBigotBasher]

The National Union of Students (NUS) tonight condemned election officials after students were turned away from Ranmoor polling station in Nick Clegg’s Sheffield Hallam constituency as they attempted to vote. Students have complained that they were denied the right to vote because of a decision to segregate student voters from other members of the electorate, the latter having been fast-tracked.

1. What's happened is disgusting

It involves Ranmoor Halls of Residence, where my dad worked as a caretaker in the 70's. If he were alive today he would be livid at how Sheffield is turning itself into a bannana republic.

Given that these problems have affected Sheffield Central, where Labour only won by 165 votes, and the problems were worse in the Lib Dem areas of the constituency I am afraid to say that I will not consider Paul Blomfield to be a legitimate member of parliament until the election is re-run.
