London
An about turn was seen in the Conservative party’s stance on Saturday when party leader Prime Minister David Cameron announced his demand to the UK election commission to “open” for investigation the possibility of rigging in four constituencies.
“We have evidence of rigging,” said Cameron, in an impassioned plea. “Till the evening, the votes were going 44pc to 44pc, so how could the Brexiters get 52pc by the night?”
“And then, before the votes were even counted, a victory speech was organised for Nigel Farage, with the complicity of Channel 4,” he continued. “If that isn’t a clear sign of malice, then I don’t know what is.”
Accompanied by the Conservative Party leadership, he said that if the election commission did not “open” the four mentioned constituencies, he would stage a sit-in on Trafalgar Square and will not leave till the Brexiters concede that rigging had taken place.
Speaking to a small crowd that had gathered outside the makeshift “recount” campaign office, a shipping container placed in Trafalgar square, Cameron said that he will not, under any circumstances, relent from his demands.
Then, apropos to nothing, the prime minister also announced his decision to get married again.
